🎉 Episode Anniversary Special: 🎉

In this special episode celebrating Beyond the Self's one-year anniversary, we dive into a thought-provoking idea: Why We Should Inconvenience Our Friends. Inspired by YouTuber Adella Afadi, we explore how our fear of causing discomfort or being a burden often holds us back from building deeper, more meaningful connections.

We’ll unpack what I like to call the ‘inflection point’ in relationships—the moment when trust is built not by offering help but by asking for it. Drawing on insights from psychology, Simon Sinek’s wisdom on trust, and even the Rat Park Experiment, we’ll discuss how embracing vulnerability and occasional inconvenience can lead to stronger, lasting friendships.

Tune in as we challenge the modern obsession with self-reliance and discover how leaning on others can unlock the real growth we all seek in our relationships.
