Podcast Overview
<p>If you’re done living for approval and everyone else’s needs, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.</p><p>Self Centered is about reclaiming your relationship with yourself as your home base, so your thoughts, choices, and relationships flow from clarity, self-trust, and alignment instead of guilt, fear, or external validation.</p><p>Our mission is simple: to help you return to yourself and challenge the culture that taught you to abandon who you are. Together, we uncover what pulls you away from your center, so you can live in alignment with your values and co-create a world where being well and centered isn’t seen as selfish.</p><p>Hosts <strong>Allie</strong> and <strong>Katie</strong> have lived the burnout, the guilt, and the people-pleasing. Now, they share real stories and practical insights to model how to come home to yourself, reclaim your power, and build relationships rooted in interdependence, not codependence.</p><p>This isn’t therapy. It’s real conversation and lived experience that reveal the patterns shaping how you show up, set boundaries, and connect, both with yourself and with others.</p><p>Welcome to the movement! Let’s find your center and stay there, together.</p><p>© 2024–2026 Self Centered™. All rights reserved.</p>
