About this episode
Suzy Reading is a psychologist, self-care expert and author, whose latest book focuses on selfishness, and what it actually means to be selfish.
In part one, Suzy and Dr Alex George unpack what selfishness actually is, why being selfish has been demonised in the past, and why our self-care practices need to be more honest.
Plus, Suzy discusses the impact low self-worth can have not just on our own wellbeing, but on our wider relationships too.
