Everyone Has 5 Minutes For Self-Care

On today's episode, Dr. Peggy Gleason discusses how she discovered the importance of self-care and learning healthy habits to prevent burnout. Her experience as a critical care nurse led her to study how other cultures and countries help address this issue.We focus on how women often need help but do not ask. We talk about how asking for help is often associated with something negative or lacking and how the responsibilities for men and women are still unequal in many families. Our discussion also focuses on the importance of setting boundaries and finding time for "me."Dr. Peggy provides practical insights from her extensive experience in working with people in high-intensity careers. We talk about learning how to say "no" and prioritizing our time to care for ourselves. Simple things like limiting time on social media and websites can provide the time you need to do something kind for yourself. We talk about the importance of tracking and knowing your patterns and behaviors before you can make changes and build in simple and effective self-care in your daily routine. About the Guest:Dr. Peggy Gleason is a Duke-trained Certified Integrative Health Coach with several other certifications as a Life and Wellness Coach and holds a Doctoral Degree in Natural Health.
