When Destiny Needs An Intervention - The Podcast Show

4. Put On Your Mask First with Rochelle Jacobs


Listen Later

How can we expect ourselves to show up for others, when we don’t even know how to show up for ourselves? 


On todays episode of the podcast, I am joined by Rochelle Jacobs, where she highlights how there is nothing selfish about practicing some self-care. This episode was a lot of fun for me. Rochelle’s energy is so infectious, you will be running off it for the rest of the week after you listen to this conversation!

In the episode, we talk about:

  • How easy it can be to forget to take care of ourselves when we look out for others.
  • How the pandemic was an appropriate time for Rochelle to focus on herself.
  • How change will only happen if you make it happen.

  ”Sister, put your mask on first. I know we're in COVID. And most of us want to take off of the mask, but again, you have to put on your mask first. And that starts with self-care. Putting yourself first in mind, body and spirit.”

It's so common for women. We've been socialised to not think of ourselves, to only do what other people need us to do. To show up for all of them. And you're sitting here, sending this completely different message that says "no show up for you, Sis, because you're worth it."
- Dr. Shana D. Lewis

So we have to remember, self-care is not selfish. It's not selfish. It's taking care of you. So that you can serve others.”
