In this episode, I share my own journey of letting go of the fear of being selfish and giving myself permission to run as much as I wanted. I talk about the ways this fear of being selfish shows up and why it often costs us energy, results, and joy. Through practical examples, questions for reflection, and personal stories, I’ll guide you to examine the beliefs you’ve absorbed about selfishness, understand what it’s truly costing you, and discover how to embrace your running - and your dreams - without guilt.
