Like many conversations we have, we think we will talk about one thing, but we end up talking about something completely different. Self-care can be defined as “The practice of taking action to preserve and improve one’s health.” We love this definition of self-care because it calls us to do several things; practice calls us to actually do self-care, action requires that we actually do those things that are self-care to us, and preserving our health means it is ok to just do what is needed to not go backward.

In this deep conversation, April, Jason, and Natalie break down this definition and share how self-care looks in their lives when they have the time and feel like they don’t have the time. They discuss how self-care has shifted from them in their post-op lives and talk about how there is a societal correlation between self-care and selfishness.

This conversation will leave you thinking about your own self-care and thinking up creative and meaningful ways to make it a part of your life every day.
