The Importance of Self Care That Actually Works

In this episode of the Needy Podcast, I return after a year-long hiatus to discuss the essence of self-care that truly supports individual needs. I talk about my upcoming free workshop titled 'Self Care That Actually Works' scheduled for September 25th. 

I differentiate my approach to self-care from the prescriptive methods often sold online, emphasizing the need for responsive and present self-care practices. I share my personal journey of developing a self-care routine that helps me meet life's demands in a sustainable way, such as waking up early to watch the sunrise and engaging in varied physical activities. 

The discussion highlights the importance of creating routines that are adaptable to one's current emotional and physical state, ultimately aiming to provide a framework for showing up fully and compassionately for oneself.

The holidays can feel like way too much or too little – endless obligations and burnout, or lonely and ordinary while everyone else celebrates. I created a free workshop called Reclaim Your Holiday Season to help you figure out what YOU actually want and how to make it happen, with practical tools for boundary-setting and the YES/NO list framework.
