What if I told you that prioritizing yourself isn't selfish—it's essential? In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I tackle the unspoken condition affecting countless women: the belief that we must constantly do, produce, and care for others at the expense of our own wellbeing.
Fresh from my own struggle to take a break after a busy day, I explore why women feel compelled to push through exhaustion, postpone meals, and delay rest. "There is no dirty dishes police," I remind listeners, challenging the notion that household chores somehow outrank our physical and mental health.
Drawing from compelling research and personal observations, I make the case for reimagining self-care not as occasional indulgences but as daily, fundamental habits. When we're running our batteries down to 30% capacity, everyone suffers—our families, our work, and most critically, our future selves.
The episode takes an illuminating turn when I share the story of an inspiring 70-something woman who walked miles daily and needed no medications, standing in stark contrast to peers dependent on multiple prescriptions and mobility aids. This isn't about luck or genetics—it's about consistent, intentional choices made decades earlier.
From proper hydration and protein intake to regular movement and strength training, I break down the essential habits that preserve independence and vitality as we age. Prevention, I emphasize, will always trump crisis management. Start with awareness of your current patterns, then introduce small, sustainable changes. Your body is capable of remarkable resilience when given proper care.
