I was delighted to be joined today to chat with Meg-John and Alex about their excellent new workbook 'Hell Yeah Self Care!'

We chatted about:

The importance of self care

Why people critique self care

Self care as political and anti-capitalist

Wellbeing giving self-care a bad name

Comparing self-care with the network of care we discussed in the Hologram episode

The capacity for doing care and self-care is unfairly distributed

Trauma and self-care

Reflective self care

The kindness cradle of slowness, gentleness, being enough, and consent

For the full discussion head to our Patreon where you can hear us chat for another 20 mins about:

Somatic self-care

Coronavirus, lockdowns and self care

It’s really excellent so please do buy it and have a go. It’s playful and interesting whilst also being challenging and gentle.

You can get it from most bookshops online, but here’s a nice indie queer publisher https://www.queerlit.co.uk/products/hell-yeah-self-care
