The Nancy Levin Show E234: The Sacred Art of Being Selfish
When was the last time you did something purely for yourself—without apologizing for it, justifying it, or making sure everyone else was taken care of first?
Most of us were taught that being selfish is wrong. But what if we've had it backwards? What if honoring your needs is actually the foundation of authentic generosity and love?
In this solo episode, I invite you to rethink everything you've believed about selfishness and see it instead as a sacred practice of self-respect. Together, we'll explore how reclaiming your right to rest, receive, and say no can deepen—not damage—your relationships. By the end of this conversation, you'll understand that boundaries aren't barriers; they're bridges to connection, truth, and peace.
What we explore:
- The cultural conditioning that taught us to equate selfishness with shame
- Why self-abandonment disguised as selflessness erodes genuine connection
- How to tell the difference between generosity and performance
- Simple ways to practice sacred selfishness during the holidays
- How honoring your needs restores trust, integrity, and authenticity in every relationship
You don't owe anyone your depletion. You owe yourself your wholeness. This episode is your permission slip to stop apologizing for your boundaries—and start seeing them as the most loving gift you can give.
