Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta are sick of seeing “self care” being used an an excuse to sell some really expensive sugar scrub and body oils. Self care is incredibly important. Unfortunately, recently, the media and society has really made self care start to look like something you have to go buy at a fancy store or something you can only grab from the latest trending hashtag. We’re having a conversation about what intersectional self care looks like and what self care means to those without the means. We drank a whole bottle of sparkly rose. We were inspired. The resources for this one are RICH and worth it, please check them out below! Thank you so much for tuning in!
