Can being selfish be a good thing?

Selfishness actually needs to be incorporated into our lifestyles in order to support the work that we are designed and purposed to do.

We cannot do the things that we want to do, the things that we need to do, and create the types of changes that we want to create if we’re pouring from an empty, cracked, chipped, broken cup.

Dr. Marcuetta Sims joins Erica to make the case for being selfish.

Reconsidering your normal means questioning the ways things have always been done, in your life and in our culture.

What happens when we don’t feel as though we have access to healing? When there is shame or stigma or a lack of knowledge about modalities that are available?

Everyone has a way that they want their brand to be positioned and perceived. But is that the same as your company culture?
