What We Get Wrong about Self Care with Shaina Siber | POP 1390

Why do so many caring professionals still end up burned out? Could self-care be about doing more of what matters to you?  Is your best self-care routine already hiding in your daily habits? In this episode, Joe Sanok speaks with therapist and educator Shaina Siber about redefining self-care and preventing burnout among mental health professionals. Drawing on her experience supporting healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, Shaina explains why sustainable self-care is less about adding more to your schedule and more about aligning daily habits with your values. Shaina shares how witnessing widespread burnout among frontline healthcare workers led her to develop a more practical, compassionate approach to well-being. After experiencing burnout herself, she realized that long-term sustainability requires intentionally caring for yourself in ways that fit your life rather than striving for unrealistic self-care routines.
