Suzy Reading: How To Be Selfish, 7 Steps to Self Care & Wintering Well

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie is joined by psychologist, speaker and author Suzy Reading for a deeply nourishing conversation about reclaiming your peace, power, and emotional wellbeing.

Drawing from her work and her brand new book How to Be Selfish, Suzy shares her seven steps to taking back your peace & power, offering compassionate, practical guidance on how to meet your own needs without guilt or apology.

Together, Natalie and Suzy explore what it really means to be “selfish” in a healthy, life-affirming way — reframing it as self-responsibility, self-trust, and emotional maturity. They discuss how learning to listen to and harness our emotions can become a powerful catalyst for change, rather than something to suppress or fear.

The conversation also turns to the rhythms of the seasons, with a gentle exploration of how to winter well — slowing down, restoring energy, and letting go of the pressure to constantly push forward. Suzy invites us to consider spring as the true new year, a more natural moment for renewal, intention-setting and growth.
