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.

Let's Get Selfish Present:

Paul Simard– Keeper of Thresholds: Redefining Masculinity, Grief & What It Means to Truly Live

In this powerful and deeply human conversation on Let’s Get Selfish, we welcome Paul — Death Doula, Men’s Guide, Cultural Architect, and Keeper of Thresholds.

Paul walks beside people at life’s most sacred and difficult crossings: moments of profound loss, emotional awakening, identity shifts, and personal renewal. With steady compassion and poetic insight, he holds space for those ready to become someone new.

A gifted speaker, Paul has captivated audiences with his TED Talk The Mythical Man, which challenges traditional narratives around masculinity and emotional expression. His second TED Talk, Bringing Death Back To Life, set for release in Spring 2026, invites us to radically reimagine our relationship with grief, dying, and death — and asks what becomes possible when we stop turning away from life’s hardest truths.

In this episode, Paul opens up about:

• Men’s mental, physical, and spiritual health
• The transformative power of grief and why we need to bring death back into the heart of life
• How culture shapes (and limits) modern masculinity
• The courage required to stand at life’s thresholds with honesty and presence

Whether you’re navigating loss, questioning old stories about what it means to be a man, or simply craving more authentic connection in a disconnected world, this conversation offers both mirror and medicine.

Paul’s presence is a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness — it is the doorway to renewal.
