In this episode, Wendy dives deep into the true essence of self-care with the insightful Dr. Nekeshia Hammond. They discuss how real self-care goes beyond surface-level pampering and dives into a lifelong commitment to mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. Nekeshia shares her own journey through burnout and offers practical advice on how to reset, recharge, and truly prioritize yourself in the midst of life’s chaos. From checking in by asking yourself key questions weekly, to finding ways to interrupt the patterns that keep you stuck, this conversation is a powerful reminder that self-care is a daily practice, not a once-a-year retreat. Tune in to discover how you can start showing up for yourself more meaningfully, one moment at a time.
