This week, we're flipping the script.

In a world that’s endlessly screaming for your attention—but rarely in your interest—it’s time to talk about healthy selfishness. This isn’t about giving up. It’s about giving up on the noise, the “shoulds,” and the imaginary expectations placed on you by people who don’t share your values.

When nothing matters the way we think it does, we get to decide what actually does. That’s freedom.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why we’re so stressed (hint: it’s not your inbox)
• How other people’s imaginations are running your life
• The real meaning of “nothing matters” as liberation, not nihilism
• Defining healthy selfishness—and how it makes you a better person
• How to filter your decisions through your values, not societal pressure
• A challenge to say “no” to one thing this week, and “yes” to yourself

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, judged, distracted, or pulled in a hundred directions—you’re not alone. But this episode is your permission slip to simplify, focus, and prioritize the one person who truly needs your attention: you.
