Self-care turned into self-attack for a lot of people without them even realizing it.
If self-care now feels like pressure, guilt, performance, or one more way to feel behind, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Wisdom From the Porch with GP, we talk about what happens when self-care stops feeling supportive and starts sounding like self-criticism. For many neurodivergent minds, the problem is not a lack of effort... it’s that care has been turned into another impossible standard.

This conversation explores the hidden shame inside modern self-care language, why “healthy habits” can start to feel like judgment, and how compassion can become a practical tool instead of a slogan.
