Why Taking Care of Yourself Helps Others

In today’s episode, I break down why self-care isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for serving others. Too many people believe they have to sacrifice their well-being to be generous, but the truth is, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritizing sleep, health, and personal growth creates the energy and mindset needed to give more effectively. I also unpack the difference between self-interest and selflessness, the dangers of burnout from people-pleasing, and how fear of missing out interferes with success. Sustainable service starts with investing in yourself first, so you can make a lasting impact on those around you.
