Self-Care Isn’t What TikTok Told You | Ages & Stages Podcast

Welcome back to Ages & Stages — the podcast where three women from three different generations come together for honest conversations about life, womanhood, motherhood, relationships, identity, and everything in between.In this episode, we dive into the reality of self-care — beyond the social media trends, expensive routines, and “perfect wellness” pressure. We talk about what self-care actually looks like in real life at different ages and stages, from postpartum motherhood to balancing work, aging, anxiety, relationships, and finding moments of peace in everyday life.We discuss:• How self-care changes through different decades of life• The pressure women feel to “stay young”• Social media, beauty standards, and perfectionism• Meditation, nature, movement, and mindfulness• Finding your inner child again• Why self-care doesn’t have to cost money• Motherhood, routines, relationships, and burnout• Learning to slow down and create balanceThis conversation is honest, relatable, funny, and deeply real — the kind of discussion that reminds you you’re not the only one figuring life out as you go.Whether your version of self-care is skincare, yoga, camping, watching sunsets, swinging on a playground, or simply taking a breath for yourself, this episode is your reminder that your needs matter too.Follow Ages & Stages on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube for more conversations across every decade of womanhood.Show Notes
