Why women should be selfish after 40
Here's an unpopular opinion I haven't shared before.
If you're a woman over 40, I want you to be more selfish.

I've been a nutrition counselor for over a decade, but this thought just occurred to me as I was participating in an internet-breaking live event last week, hosted by Matthew McConaughey. You may have heard of him.
At the start of the event with over 2 million people tuning in from over 150 countries, McConaughey asked us "Why are you here?"
The wrap-speed live chat was flooded with desires for connection, to feel more whole, to find more confidence, and to find hope or love again.
I don't know what percentage of the total audience was women, but when asked in the private event-related Facebook Group what "badass ladies" attending the event wanted more of, the comments were overwhelmingly about lifting each other up, asking for what you need, and believing in yourself. How can you do any of that if you're not selfish?
McConaughey said someone once told him, "You sure think a lot of yourself." And his reply, "Well if I don't who will?" Think about that.
If you don't think about yourself, put on your own oxygen mask first, who else will? Mic drop.
How can you practice savoring food and your body if you don't think of yourself?
How can thinking of yourself lead to more stress resilience, better sleep, and fewer midlife mood swings?
Most importantly, how can thinking of yourself more benefit others?
Hit play and let's dive into these questions!
