Have you ever struggled to find time for yourself, only to feel guilty when you finally do?In this episode of Wellbeing Interrupted, we explore why 'Me Time' is not a luxury but a vital aspect of health management. Inspired by the recent news of Shannen Doherty's passing and reflecting on my own journey with Stage 4 breast cancer, I discuss the importance of prioritising personal well-being. Join me as we debunk the myth that taking time for ourselves is selfish, and understand how it's crucial for not only our health but for being present and supportive of those we care about.KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS:Set Boundaries: Be clear about what you can handle and say no when necessary.
