Ever wondered if there's more to self-care than bubble baths and spa days? Spoiler alert: there absolutely is.

Most of us have been sold a shallow version of self-care that focuses on external quick fixes rather than addressing our deeper needs. In this enlightening episode, I challenge conventional wisdom by redefining self-care as an internal process that produces lasting transformation in our lives.

Drawing from research, I introduce four powerful principles of authentic self-care: setting boundaries while managing guilt, practicing genuine self-compassion, aligning your actions with your core values, and embracing your personal power. The discussion elaborates on why mothers' well-being specifically connects to feeling unconditionally loved, developing confidence during distress, cultivating authentic relationships, and nurturing satisfying friendships.

This episode offers a refreshing perspective for parents of color navigating the challenges of the education system while trying to maintain their own well-being. I provide practical guidance on distinguishing between goals and values, emphasizing that true alignment happens when your external actions match your internal compass.

Whether you're struggling with boundary-setting, battling guilt, or simply feeling disconnected from your authentic self, this episode delivers transformative insights that will reshape how you approach self-care.
