Self love, please stop already!

I’ve listened to some great podcasts, but couldn’t get past the introduction of the guest speaker’s self-novel speech for her own disproportionate self-love. Good grief, what do all her self-identities have to do with fundraising?!… I really would have appreciated some balance/work/boundary tips. She’s virtue signaling and insulting those who don’t think as she does before she even began the topic. And no, these are not “stones” I’m throwing at her: they are truth that she is too self-focused.
