Summary
We were taught to respect, to care, to adjust, to give. But somewhere along the way, many of us learned to put ourselves last. In this episode of A Little Zen, A Little Mess, Seema reflects on the quiet guilt many of us carry when we prioritize our own wellbeing — especially in families and cultures that value sacrifice. Through simple truths and gentle reminders, this episode explores why self-love is not selfish, but essential. Because when you are rested, balanced, and emotionally well, you love better. You give better. You live better. Self-love is not choosing yourself over others. It’s including yourself in the circle of care. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
