In this episode of the True Northing podcast, Kristen and Allison unpack the myths around selfishness, self-care, and people-pleasing. Together, they explore why society—especially for women—frames putting your needs first as “selfish,” and how this mindset leads to burnout, self-sacrifice, and a loss of authenticity. 

Through real stories and powerful insights, you’ll learn: 

💡 The hidden cost of people-pleasing 

💡 How to set healthy boundaries without guilt 

💡 Why self-care is not selfish—it’s survival 

💡Practical steps to build self-worth and say “no” with confidence If you’ve ever struggled with putting yourself last, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to live authentically, care for yourself, and still show up for others.
