She’s Not Selfish, She’s Self-Full with Meredith Masony

May 10, 2025

We’re told to be selfless. To give everything for our children. To die to ourselves for the sake of being a “good” mother and parent. But what if that’s not the answer at all?

In this fierce, funny, and deeply real conversation, Danusia is joined by Meredith Masony —a woman who came back from a health crisis with one loud, clear truth: she was done putting herself last. They talk about the myth of the perfect mum, what happens when you carry the entire domestic load for a decade, and why sometimes the most radical thing a mother can do is say, “It’s my turn.”

This episode is a battle cry for any woman who’s been told she’s selfish for wanting more. If that’s you? Tune in. We saved you a seat.
