Back in 2017 I took my first solo international trip and visited the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria – yes, all by myself. Turns out, this is an Olympic Gold-level achievement.

As a recovering people pleaser, I often felt I was giving more to people than I was getting in return. This tale is old as time, and I could sufficiently intellectualize the problem -- yet none of this had any positive affect on my life until I started changing my words, actions, and beliefs. Apparently this is called...boundaries?

Why I think we all need to be a little more selfish.
