Ep. 79 3 Reasons Why Self-Care is Sacred, Not Selfish

What comes to mind when you hear the word self-care? For many of us, it's spa days and bubble baths—or maybe the idea that it's selfish to even think about. But in light of our Catholic faith, self-care looks very different. It's not about indulgence or vanity—it's about stewardship of the life and body God has entrusted to us. In this episode, we're kicking off a brand-new September series on Christ-centered self-care. Together, we'll explore why self-care is not optional but essential for living out our vocations with joy. Through the foundational pillars of Catholic wellness, we'll discover: ✨ Why our dignity comes from being made in the image of God—not from diet culture or appearance ✨ How caring for our health is an act of stewardship, not control ✨ Why true wellness must include body, mind, and soul—never just one piece in isolation ✨ The missing "Who" at the center of our health decisions—and why inviting Christ into this area changes everything Friend, you were created in God's image, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and your life is a gift meant to bear fruit. When we begin to see self-care as a spiritual practice, rooted in Christ, everything shifts.
