While surviving a pandemic and at the height of the current revolution against racial injustice, Skye & Amanda sat down to discuss the importance of self care as a form of resistance, what self care really means to them and how it is incorporated into their everyday lives. From sleep and walks, to setting clear boundaries with others and their experiences with therapy, the two share some of their favorite necessary forms of self care, ones they are continuing to work on and tips of how to intentionally pour into yourselves.
