Self-care isn’t always pretty, Instagram-worthy, or spa-day chic. Sometimes it looks like doing the dishes before bed or closing your laptop when you said you would. In this episode, I break down why real self-care is way less glamorous (and way more essential) than we’ve been sold — and how micro and macro self-care work together to keep burnout in check.

Because spoiler - a candle won’t fix four hours of sleep.
