About this episode

Have The Confidence To Take Care Of Yourself

If you are a nice person, you might find it hard to say no, be direct with others, or do things that they might not like. And yet, this level of self-sacrifice can often lead to severe consequences for you in the long run.

Join Dr. Aziz as he reframes selfishness to something that can actually benefit you and others, and is absolutely essential to live a confident life on your terms.
