In this episode of Go Coach Yourself!, Vic and Ryan discuss the struggle of putting oneself first in a world where self-sacrifice is often celebrated. They explore societal conditioning that labels self-prioritization as selfish and how this leads to burnout and resentment. They emphasize the importance of setting boundaries, recognizing different types of rest, and practicing self-compassion. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, they offer listeners tools to take up the space they deserve and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
