And if you're honest, sometimes meeting your own needs feels selfish. But it's not. In fact, you have to care for yourself if you want to keep showing up well for the people who need you most.Dr. Phyllis breaks down her powerful S.E.L.F. framework to help you reconnect with your purpose and joy:S – Silence your inner critic.E – Embrace your needs.L – Look for joy.F – Follow through.It’s not enough to just talk about caring for yourself.
