The Sacred Art of Being Selfish

Aloha,

In this episode of the Pure Awareness Podcast, I'm sharing an introspective monologue straight from my heart and my radio show on KUF 88.5, the voice of Maui.

I want to talk about a word that most of us run from: "selfishness." What if I told you that being selfish can be a deeply positive and necessary act of self-care? I explore the idea that in order to reach your full potential, you must be preoccupied with your own well-being—much like a rose requires specific conditions to bloom into its most beautiful form.

This isn't just theory for me. I get personal and weave in stories from my own life, touching on the lessons I learned from my commitment to a spiritual foundation and even my experiences back as a student-athlete. It’s all about the importance of aligning your journey with your desired destination and having the courage to acknowledge your own internal struggles.

I like to think of this show as an ongoing education in what I call "YOUniversity"—a place where you are encouraged to explore your own memories and experiences as the ultimate curriculum for personal growth. By doing this work, we not only heal ourselves but also help build a more conscious community.

Press play and join me for this unfiltered conversation. Let’s wander fearlessly together.
