Do you find yourself rushing through self-care activities only to feel just as stressed afterward? Why do so many of us struggle to slow down and truly reconnect with ourselves? In this episode, Risa Williams talks with Dr. Lea Didion about simple, everyday self-care practices that can help us become more mindful, present, and intentional throughout the week. 

Together, they explore:

- Practical ways to create moments of calm, reflection, and renewal in our daily lives

-How "slow self-care" can often feel rebellious and counterintuitive in a "hustle culture" society

-Using skin care as a way to slow down and check in with yourself

-Learning to "experiment" with ways to connect with your yourself in "mini-self-care" breaks throughout the day

Tune in for gentle strategies that can help you slow down, reduce stress, and feel more soothed and balanced!
