You can't pour from an empty cup—but how many of us are actually filling ours first?
In this episode, Ryan Reichert is joined by Vivianne Winters Israel—a registered nurse, cancer survivor, motivational speaker, and award-winning author—to talk about what true self-care really looks like. And spoiler: it's not a bubble bath.
Vivianne shares how a simple self-care tool she'd been using for memory recall completely changed the way she responded to a life-threatening cancer diagnosis. She breaks down the difference between "me time" self-care and true self-care practices that get baked into who you are—practices that take as little as two minutes a day.
They also dive into perseverance, pivoting through life's hardest moments, building faith practices from multiple sources, and how the toughest chapters of our lives—divorce, illness, job loss—can become the launchpad for something greater.
Tune in to Our Healer, Our Protector as we dive into "The 2-Minute Stress-Eraser – The True Self-Care Practice That Releases Stress & Restores Mental Focus" and discover how taking care of yourself first changes everything.
