Is taking care of yourself actually selfish? Or is that just what healthcare trained you to believe?

Dr. Dani Williams is a CRNA and IFBB Fit Model Pro — and she trained for her Pro card while she was in anesthesia school. Not after. During.
In this episode, Shantall and Marc sit down with Dani to talk about what it actually costs to put yourself first when your entire career is built around putting everyone else first. Guilt, burnout, body image, boundaries, the pressure to always be available, the money you leave on the table every time you say no. All of it.

They go there.

What you'll hear:
• How Dani competed through CRNA school and what it actually took to pull that off
• The hidden price of discipline, borrowed energy, and running on caffeine for years
• Mom guilt, dad guilt, and why turning down a shift can quietly feel like failure
• Why burnout doesn't look the same for everyone — and why that matters
• What a self-care practice that fits your actual life looks like instead of someone else's
• Off the Record: what each of them does to genuinely recharge

Being "selfish" might be the thing that makes you a better provider, partner, and parent. This episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.
