Ep 194: Reclaiming self-care

Who showed you what self-care in action looked like? Anyone? In today's episode of SelfKind, I'm talking about what it means to carve a new path for self-care when, probably, you did not grow up watching the people around you actively demonstrating it. In fact, what you might have seen demonstrated was more like sacrifice and martyrdom.So, what do we do when all we've known and seen does not align with what we want for ourselves? That's what we'll dive into here!In this episode you'll hear:Why understanding your underlying beliefs is key to writing a new storyHow action contributes to changeHow to build a new story, even when it feels hard (hello, guilt!)Why tip-toeing out of your comfort-zone could be helpfulWhy self-compassion and understanding your overarching commitment is keyMentioned in this episode:The Imperfects podcast - episode with Lael StoneThe content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
