"You're gonna have to find your own joy and once you start following it just a little bit, you will find there is so much more of it." ~Dr. Kat

Welcome to Episode 8! Today I interview Dr. Katherine Dale, AKA Luna Mama from NYC. Dr. Kat and I have an in-depth discussion about the importance of self care and how it branches out into every area of our lives. We cover topics such as setting boundaries, maintaining connection and the importance in surrounding ourselves with people that respect themselves. Dr Kat. reveals her self-care best practices, the three actions she uses to make her practices stick and what she uses to shift her perspective on the difficult days. Dr. Kat also explains the connection the moon has with self care and manifestation. 

"You need to allow yourself to be vulnerable in the presence of others. That is what allows other people to connect with you." ~Dr. Kat
