Do You Practice Self-Care in Your Routine?

from The Greatness Together Podcast · host Sarah McVanel

What happens when you suddenly become the "sole architect" of your space? Simonne knows. In this episode, she gets vulnerable and shares the honest reality of living alone for the first time. Did we mention it’s an ocean away?We’re diving deep into her personal journey, navigating "the independence curve" and the unexpected lessons she learned as she figured out how to manage her entire world solo. We’re leaving the “have a bubble bath” clichés of self-care behind in favour of an honest look at the importance of mental clarity through intentional routines, task anagement, and good planning, creating the foundation for true well-being that enables sustained independence. Quote of the Week: "Daily routines have become my favourite self-care practice."

Simonne walks us through her recently curated how-tos of organization, connecting the dots between tackling small tasks and crushing daily decision fatigue. Living on her own with no roommate, an ocean away, provided a crash course where crashing and burning wasn’t an option. So, in this episode, the strategies we discuss aren’t just theory. They are reframing daily care as a fundamental form of self-respect. We look at simple habits, like prepping for tomorrow tonight to banish that frantic morning chaos, and how they fundamentally shift your energy.You'll get clear, practical steps for setting up routines that truly streamline your day, making your independent life less stressful and much more intentional. As you know, in our intergenerational podcast, we compare and contrast our lived experiences, and in this episode, we’re figuring out how to best unlock the often-overlooked power of completing tasks for mental clarity and how it leads to a smoother, more productive, and calmer life.Did you like this episode?Then you’ll probably also like this one, “Is Your Self-Care Non-Negotiable?”Consider reflecting on your own self-care practices or sharing your experiences with us to build a supportive community around personal growth and independence. Greatness Together Podcast Links:Do you show yourself love? Do you need Mental Beauty?Greatness MagnifiedSubscribe to The Greatness Together Podcast
