Let's Get Selfish Podcast

Joyfully Selfish: How an Ex-Engineer Ditched the Grind and Learned to Fill Her Own Bucket First - W/ Angela Jamieson

What if the secret to a truly fulfilling life isn’t working harder or doing more… but finally giving yourself permission to put YOU first — without guilt, without apology, and with total joy?

In this powerful episode of Let’s Get Selfish, host Bryan White sits down with Angela Jamieson — ex-engineer, former COO, international consultant, speaker, and bestselling author. After building the “perfect” life on paper while raising young kids and caring for her ill father, Angela lost her dad and questioned everything. That wake-up call led her to create Relaxed Productivity — a practical, engineering-backed methodology that blends logic, science, presence, and real-life balance.

Now, almost two years into her thriving online course and membership, Angela teaches high-achievers how to stop the endless hustle and start living with more ease, clarity, and fulfillment. She’s the author of the shockingly insightful self-help book Using No. 2 to Get to No. 1: The Shockingly Insightful, Full-of-Crap Self-Help Book.

Angela’s core message? Being selfish — when done joyfully — is the greatest gift you can give the world. When you fill your own bucket first, everyone around you benefits.

This conversation is raw, practical, funny, and perfect for anyone who’s ever felt burned out, stuck in Groundhog Day, or ready to redesign life on their own terms.
