Have you ever wondered why self-care is something that seems so foreign to you? Something that always is on your to-do list but never gets checked off? It might be because you grew up in a culture or family where self-care was not practiced or acknowledged. And that could be creating some friction between you and your self-care.

We sat down with Kelsie Danielle, an amazing bariatric patient who has an amazing YouTube channel dedicated to sharing her weight loss surgery life with the world! She often talks about her own self-care and how she came to understand its importance in her own life. Self-care is something she practices daily and she shares with us how she shifted her culture to create a new mindset around self-care.
