Redefining "Selfish": Choosing a Life That Feels Like Yours | Kerry Docherty (Going Deeper)
About this episode
Diane Boden interviews Kerry Docherty about her memoir 'Selfish' and the journey of redefining selfishness to prioritize personal desires.
Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast. In this episode, Diane sits down with author and Faherty Brand co-founder Kerry Docherty to talk about her memoir, Selfish , and the idea of redefining what it means to choose yourself. Kerry shares how the concept of “selfishness” emerged during couples therapy, when she realized how much of her life had been shaped by prioritizing others - often at the expense of her own voice and desires. We talk about what it looks like to reconnect with yourself, make choices that feel aligned (even when they’re uncomfortable), and allow every part of who you are to have a place at the table. ------------------------------------------------- Previous Going Deeper Episodes: Buzzing with Purpose: Teaching Kids to Protect Pollinators Building Fount: Business, Family, & the Balance In Between Ironman Battling Brain Cancer Unschooling My Parent is a Hoarder Links Discussed in This Episode | Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from…
