How being selfish saved Turia Pitt

How would you feel if somebody called you “selfish”? For most, it would be considered one of worst things you could say about a person, but in her latest book, Selfish: How to Unlearn the Rules That Are Breaking You, Turia Pitt is reclaiming the word. As she reveals some of her most personal and difficult moments, she also explains how they led her to realise that being “selfish” really just means setting boundaries and celebrating self-worth.  

On this episode of Something To Talk About, the motivational speaker, Ironman competitor and mum of two speaks candidly about what she’s come to realise about the mental load, guilt, resilience and the freedom of being unapologetically selfish.

This is Turia Pitt as you’ve never heard her before—unfiltered, vulnerable, and funny.

Selfish, How to Unlearn the Rules That Are Breaking You (Penguin) is out on October 7
