022: Redefining Self-Care to Reclaim Your Personal Power with Jasmin Egner

37 minutes

Today’s episode is all about self-care. Our guest today, Jasmin Egner, describes self-care best in this episode when she says it’s “a hell of a lot more than a bubble bath.” Self-care is about understanding what you need and want, and communicating those things through your words and actions so you can reclaim your personal power. From ditching perfectionism to feeling truly empowered, the self-care practices we discuss in this episode will have powerful ripple effects across all aspects of your life.

Jasmin Egner is an empoweredly autistic, laser focused Life Coach with a background in the performing arts. She is also Co-Founder of Cordial Fox Limited - an ethical and inclusive Coaching and Consultancy company in the UK. Jasmin works internationally with Changemakers who are ready to ditch self-abandonment in the name of a cause, because she believes that we can achieve more good in the world when we know how to prioritise our own needs.

Some key takeaways about self-care from this episode are:

A huge part of self-care is giving yourself agency to make your own decisions and change your mind anytime something doesn’t feel right. Don’t stay on a path that doesn’t align with your authentic self anymore.

When you feel uncertain, take the time to pause. Pausing is so crucial for self-care. Reflect, ask yourself why you’re feeling this way. Then you can make your decision.

Don’t mistake kindness as just being nice. Kindness is about doing the right thing, being considerate of others, and being the most authentic version of yourself. Kindness is not about always doing what other people want you to do.

A lot of what we know about boundaries and being able to make our own decisions about our lives is learned from the environment we were raised in. It’s so important to break these cycles and question the meaning we assigned to what we observed growing up.

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that.
