Today James talks about one of the hardest cycles to break:  caring for others vs. caring for self. It's a long, hard look into how to shrink your circles to triangles, how to put your own mask on FIRST, and even exploring helping others as a form of personal procrastination. Don't get sucked in. Listen and learn some ways James and the mentors in his life remind themselves that you can't pour from empty.
