This is a repeat episode! Kind of… I accidentally published/sent out this podcast episode back on August 3rd, when I meant to schedule it for today! Oops… That’s me human-ing.

Today’s podcast offers a guide to authentic self-care, distinguishing it from mere indulgence. It emphasizes that self-care involves actions that benefit both physical and mental well-being, highlighting the importance of self-appreciation. I outline ten practical methods, ranging from physical activities like exercise and healthy eating to mental and emotional practices such as setting boundaries and taking digital breaks. A bonus tip encourages occasional treats, provided they’re just once in a while.

Loved this episode? You can find extra goodies, gentle tools, and printable doses of wonder over in my Ko-fi shop. You can also buy me a coffee to help support me. Every purchase supports this quiet corner of the internet and helps keep the podcast going. Thank you for being here. 💛
