Self-care Strategies for Highly Sensitive People - with Katie McDonald

B.nourished was born out of Katie McDonald’s own experience in trying to keep up with the growing demands of her corporate career. Katie found herself spiralling in the wrong direction and knew she was seriously at risk. She abandoned her C-Suite corporate job and stepped into self-compassion. She started applying her knowledge of self-care, alternative health and plant-based nutrition.  For the last 10 years, Katie has helped countless numbers of people find their way to better self-care.
