Here’s why:
The patriarchy has WEAPONIZED self care.
Folks socialized as women now BEAT THEMSELVES UP if they don’t have a “great morning routine”, do enough yoga or have the perfect resolutions.
It’s actually something that stresses many people out as another thing to put on their to do list.
But I have a HACK to access TRUE self care.
I give my clients the homework of being selfish.
They come back to me and say “Bryn I was so selfish, you’re going to be so proud of me, this is what I did.”
-
-
- I took a sleeping pill
- I left the kids with my husband and went to Costco with my sister
- I got McDonalds instead of cooking
- I kept the baby sitter even though the holiday party was cancelled so my partner and I could relax together
- Took a bath
- I took Advil when I had menstrual cramps
- I actually took a sick day when I was sick
- I took a sleeping pill
-
THIS IS NOT SELFISH. IN A PATRIARCHY, REGULAR FUCKING HUMAN STUFF IS SEEN AS SELFISH IF YOU WERE SOCIALIZED AS A WOMEN.
So here’s my New Year, New You Challenge. 30 Days of Selfishness. Every day for the next 30 days do ONE thing big or small that’s selfish.
You could:
-
-
- Buy what you ACTUALLY want off the menu even though it’s a little more expensive.
- Sleep in.
- Watch something funny on TV instead of a documentary.
- Stay up late.
- Lock yourself in the bathroom for an extra few minutes to scroll IG.
- Postpone a coffee date with a friend because you’re tired.
- Buy what you ACTUALLY want off the menu even though it’s a little more expensive.
-
And see how your life changes. Comment below and tell me one SELFISH thing you’re going to do today. And use the #30DaysOfSelfish to share you’re journey.
Let’s burn the patriarchy down by being “selfish” aka ordinary fucking humans.
Lets go!!

PS When my clients start being “selfish” they’re energy shifts so they:
-
-
- Easily double their business
- Suddenly have multiple people wanting to date them
- Get hired in the Innovation Department at a reputable university
- Go from being unemployed because of Covid to actually landing their dream job in marketing even though they don’t have a marketing degree
- Easily double their business
-
