Why Prioritizing Yourself Isn't Selfish: My Burnout Story

Permission Granted with Unyime Oguta

In this week’s episode, we tackle the deeply ingrained belief that prioritizing yourself is selfish—and turn it on its head. Drawing from my personal journey with burnout and the societal expectations that left me feeling stuck and unfulfilled, despite having the “perfect” life on paper, I explore why so many women, especially mothers, struggle with guilt when putting their needs first.

Tune in to hear how a radical shift in mindset and boundaries helped me reclaim my health and well-being as a high-achieving, ambitious woman. If you’ve ever felt torn between the demands of motherhood, career, and personal well-being, this episode is your reminder: taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for creating a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
