I took time off the past few weeks while sick, and I didn't feel bad about it. That's a big change for me. Over the past couple years I've upgraded how I understand self care.

"What's changed is I now have a deep respect for myself that's beyond my output. It's tied to who I am already ... not who I'm going to be when I do that work or accomplish that goal."

Now I'm focused on doing things that bring me small bursts of joy and rest every day; things I used to think were too small to count as self care.

In this episode I talk about

• What I used to think self care meant
• My new understanding of taking care of myself, guilt free
• Why we need to practice this so we can model it for our kids

and more.
