81: Keep Yourself Alive: Why Choosing YOU is NOT Selfish

About this episode

April Poynter discusses the importance of prioritizing oneself and how it is not selfish to choose self-care.

Send us Fan Mail While sitting in the dark pit of depression, I realized - the best thing I could ever offer back to the world is - KEEP MYSELF ALIVE. After years of being conditioned to believe that choosing me meant I was selfish or didn't care about others, I realized the opposite is true. Choosing me allows me to bring more value to the world around me. People who get it - get it. People who don't - those aren't your people. https://linktr.ee/aprilpoynter ...
