53. One Year In: Our Mission is Bigger than Mental Health

Is being “self centered” the key to healing both ourselves and our culture?

In this one-year anniversary episode, Allie and Katie reflect on the evolution of Self Centered, what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s not just a mental health podcast.

They reveal the deeper mission behind the movement: to help people reconnect with their true selves and reshape the systems that keep us overworked, over-functioning, and disconnected.

You’ll hear about:

• How personal healing connects to cultural change
• Why good intentions often keep us trapped in codependent systems
• The mission to dismantle cultural blueprints that cause burnout, guilt, and self abandonment
• Changes happening in future episodes
• How selfies can co-create the movement as guests and contributors

Perfect for anyone feeling unseen, overextended, or misunderstood, this episode is your reminder to come home to yourself, and join the community changing our codependent culture from the inside out.
