REAL Self-Care: Burnout Is Not Your Fault & the Way Out with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin


Psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin shows us how to tell the difference between the Faux Self-Care we’ve been sold versus the Real Self-Care we desperately need.


Discover: 


  • How to incorporate boundaries through the power of the pause and how to navigate the post-boundary ick with ease;
  • A simple tool to know whether you are being driven by your goals or driven by your values (and how to find and start living by your values today); and
  • Whether you might be in ‘martyr mode,’ and the key to getting out of it. 


  • About Pooja: ⁠Dr. Pooja Lakshmin⁠ is a board-certified psychiatrist, author, keynote speaker, and a contributor to The New York Times. Her debut book, ⁠REAL SELF-CARE: Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble-Baths Not Included⁠, is an NPR Best Book of 2023 and a national best-seller.
