Join us as we share personal stories, a few laughs, and some honest truths about what healthy self-love actually looks like.

Welcome back to Dial Emma! Each week, I'll be answering your dilemmas with honesty, empathy, and a few therapeutic truth bombs to help you make sense of life's stickiest moments. If you've ever wished you had a therapist in your back pocket, Dial Emma is here to help.This week, I'm delighted to be tackling our listener dilemma with another special guest: psychologist and author of How to Be Selfish, Suzy Reading.Suzy joins me to talk about the emotional toll of constantly “holding everything together” and why so many people, especially women, struggle to rest without guilt. Responding to a listener who feels invisible after years of caring for her children, ageing parents, and partner, we explore how cultural conditioning and inherited beliefs teach us that self-worth comes from selflessness, and how we can reframe those beliefs to find better self-advocacy in our daily lives.If you have a dilemma for Emma, please fill out this form. ---Dial Emma is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Lauren Brook.---Social media:Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellDial Emma @dialemmapodcastEmail: contact@dial-emma.uk

Kathy and her husband agreed to wait 5 years until they had kids. Recently, her father-in-law passed away unexpectedly, and her husband has had baby fever ever since. Her husband doesn't want his mom to pass before she meets her grandkids. Kathy understands where he's coming from...but that wasn't the plan she agreed to! What should she do?

Mainstream Darkness James 3:13-18 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.  14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.   Envy is rooted in comparison. The antidote to comparison is contentment. Contentment is practiced through gratitude.   Selfish ambition is rooted in pride. The antidote to pride is humility. Humility is practiced through service.    16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.   17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.    18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

Sometimes self-care feels impossible when life demands everything from us, and that's when we need it most. In this raw and honest episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, Jill and Linda dive into one of the hardest questions moms face: How do we take care of ourselves when others need us more? From navigating terminal illness and anticipatory grief to solo parenting four kids through sickness and cold weather, this conversation gets real about guilt, shortcuts, and the mental load of trying to do it all. If you've ever felt selfish for taking a moment for yourself while others are struggling, this episode is for you.In this episode, you'll hear:Why self-care feels selfish when you're caring for sick or struggling loved ones and how to reframe that guiltHow to take meaningful shortcuts without sacrificing your sanity (hello, skipping pajamas and porridge for dinner!)The difference between being selfish and setting realistic expectations when you're overwhelmedWhy "taking care of yourself too" can feel impossible when someone else's need feels greater than yoursHow to identify who your priority "family" is during crisis seasons and why that mattersWays to combine self-care with caring for others so your cup gets filled while you're still showing upWhat anticipatory grief looks like and why it makes self-care even harder to prioritizeSelf-care doesn't have to be solo or scheduled to count. Whether you're reading while the house gets messier, sharing time with your child during spooky season, or showing up for aging parents while barely holding it together yourself, this episode is a reminder that you're not selfish for needing care too. Jill and Linda get vulnerable about the weight of responsibility, the shortcuts that save them, and why we have to stop waiting for permission to take care of ourselves—even in the hardest seasons.Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

I ran across this article on a survey about AI usage recently. The headline is this: 55% of businesses admit wrong decisions in making employees redundant when bringing AI into the workforce. That sounds a little ominous for those making these decisions, and a lot of you might be saying, "I could have told you that. Using AI to replace people is a bad decision." On the surface, I agree. I dislike the idea that companies will opt for a semi-competent AI bot or agent to replace people, thereby further exacerbating the challenges faced by many workers in the modern world.

2 Timothy 2:1-2 teaches us that real thriving means making disciples because making disciples multiplies faith and matures faith. In the call to multiply faith, the enemy that combats against this is oftentimes selfish faith. Selfish faith is more concerned about me, myself, and I rather than God's kingdom, his mission, and his people. The way we surrender our selfish faith is by being given a vision of a thriving life that is more compelling than our selfish ways. Multiplying faith is a more compelling way to live because God's salvation extends beyond one person but carries on from generation to generation. But also, discipleship provides the means for mature faith. Paul explains discipleship always happens in the context of personal and proximate relationships. And it's through relationships that people come to love Christ above all. Discipleship is not an easy task but God has provided a source that his people can always return to for strength and it's his well of grace. This is what sustains us and strengthen us to make disciples who make disciples.

By Daniel Apartian - It is typical for us to have a tendency to want Christ to come into our lives, but then lean toward maintaining our own control, and not letting Him truly lead us. There are good desires and bad, and we know to reject the bad, but the frustration of unfulfilled good desires can also lead to sin

We're often told to fight poverty because it's the "right" thing to do. It is. But what if it's also the "smartest" thing to do for our own economic future? Poverty isn't just a problem for the poor; it's a massive drag on the entire economy. It wastes human potential, strains public services, and stifles innovation. Our latest article makes the pragmatic, economic case for ending poverty. It's not about taking from a fixed pie; it's about growing the whole pie so there's more for everyone. It's time to move from sympathy to solidarity.

Join us as we unpack Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)—how it shows up in friendships, family, and work; why bright, empathetic, often neurodivergent women are prime targets; and what to do to protect your mental, emotional, and energetic safety. We demystify tactics like love bombing, intermittent reinforcement, and image management, and share practical next steps: clear boundaries, low/no contact, therapy, education, and safety-first planning.

In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, Heather reflects on a moment that reminded her what true leadership looks like from the inside out. Fresh from speaking to 13,000 nurses at the Atlanta World Congress Center, she shares how an experience that looked glamorous on the surface, with makeup, stage lights, and a long line of people waiting for hugs, became a powerful reminder that self-leadership is not selfish. It is essential. Heather unpacks what it means to prepare so thoroughly that you can show up fully. For her, deep preparation is an act of care, allowing presence to replace pressure and connection to replace performance. As she recounts her time with the nurses, she explores the toll that constant caregiving takes and how compassion fatigue quietly chips away at strength. Her message to them, and to all of us, is clear: when you care for yourself as intentionally as you care for others, you become the calm in the storm, the unshakable center that others can rely on. Through raw honesty, Heather shares her own turning point, the realization that the success she had built came at the cost of the people she valued most. That moment of clarity became the foundation of her teaching: align your life with your true values, lean on your team, ask for help, and give yourself permission to rest. Strong self-leadership is grounded in awareness, humility, and care. This episode invites you to look inward, to question the beliefs that keep you on autopilot, and to remember that balance is not weakness, it is wisdom. When you prepare with intention, lead with presence, and live in alignment with what matters most, you do not just survive the chaos. You become unshakable within it.

What do you do when the person standing in the way of spiritual growth is you? This week on The Cutting Room Floor, our hosts unpack the final week of the men's portion of our Toy Story series with, Servant vs. Selfish, and why dying daily is the only way forward. Scott Hatfield joins Scott Nickell as they talk baptisms, cultural resistance to servant leadership, and the gritty, often unnoticed daily choices that shape a man's character.  The challenge? Die daily. Not once, not occasionally, but every single morning. Lay down your pride, your preferences, your comfort, and pick up a cross instead. Then do it again tomorrow. Hosts: Scott Hatfield and Scott Nickell  ⸻ What We Discuss: What a Greek word study on “ransom” reveals about Jesus' sacrifice Why servant leadership is a full-contact sport The difference between two kinds of tired What women are noticing and saying about this men's series How self-worship is being reinforced by 150 years of culture Scott's warning about pastors who deny substitutionary atonement What men must do as the women's series begins next week ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there's a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded.

In this powerful episode, we challenge the modern myth that “good parenting” means self-sacrifice at all costs. Instead, we explore what it really takes to show up strong for your family — starting with how you lead yourself. From the societal pressure to “do it all” to the quiet burnout no one talks about, we unpack how ignoring your own needs doesn't make you a better parent — it makes it harder to be the present, grounded leader your kids actually need. We redefine self-care as self-leadership and break down the mindset shifts, personal responsibility, and daily actions that help you parent from a place of strength — not survival. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more time, more space, or more growth… this conversation will give you permission to take it — and a plan to model a healthier path for your family. Because your kids don't need a perfect parent. They need one who's fully alive.

Success fatigue often makes leaders shrink back, fearing growth will look selfish. This episode reframes expansion as stewardship — showing how recalibration multiplies impact without betraying your past.Have you ever hesitated to grow because you worried it would look selfish — like you were leaving people behind or dishonoring what came before? For many high-capacity humans, that fear of “outgrowing” leads to role fatigue, decision fatigue, and the quiet exhaustion of holding back.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly reframes growth through the lens of stewardship. Drawing from her own tension in shifting from real estate into The Recalibration, and the story of Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, Julie shows how expansion multiplies impact rather than diminishes it. Mycoskie's One-for-One model demonstrates that scaling isn't betrayal — it's fruitfulness that serves others at greater scale.From an Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) perspective, the fear of selfish growth often comes from outdated roles:Loyalist — believing you must stay the same to prove gratitude.Servant (distorted) — thinking sacrifice means never taking up more space.Protector — shrinking so others won't feel left behind.Neuroscience calls this dynamic predictive processing: the brain assumes expansion equals disconnection, so it resists change to preserve belonging. But ILR rewires that pattern. It retrains the nervous system to recognize that growth doesn't sever belonging — it strengthens it by multiplying fruit.Here's the mic-drop truth: Without recalibration, growth feels like guilt. With recalibration, growth feels like grace.This isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. If you're navigating identity drift, spiritual exhaustion, or the sense that success feels empty, this episode will give you a new frame for expansion — not as ego, but as stewardship.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where am I mistaking expansion for selfishness — when it's actually stewardship?How can I reframe growth as service, not ego?Who benefits when I expand into the fullness of my assignment?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
