We’ve all heard it: “Put others first.” “Love means sacrifice.” “Good people give without asking.”
But what happens when you always come last on your own list?
In this episode of Grow with the Flo, Flo unpacks one of the most misunderstood truths about personal growth and connection — that the most important person in your life isn’t your partner, your parents, or your friends. It’s you.
Drawing from personal stories, psychology, and timeless wisdom, this episode explores how self-neglect leads to burnout, resentment, and emotional depletion — and how learning to prioritize yourself can deepen every relationship around you.
You’ll learn:
💬 Why boundaries are not barriers but bridges that protect your energy.
🪞 The simple question that keeps you aligned: “What do I need right now?”
⚖️ How small daily choices build the muscle of self-respect.
💗 The difference between selfishness and self-prioritization — and why one leads to love, not guilt.
This isn’t about ego. It’s about balance — the understanding that you can only pour into others when your own cup is full.
Take a quiet moment this week and ask yourself:
Where in my life am I putting myself last?
What’s one small way I can choose myself today?
How do I feel when I say “yes” out of guilt — and how does it feel when I say “no” from love?
What boundaries would make my life feel more peaceful and authentic?
What does showing up for myself allow me to bring to others?
✨ Takeaway
Choosing yourself first doesn’t mean loving others less — it means loving them better.
Because the most important relationship you’ll ever have… is the one with you.
