Self-care On Purpose

We've all heard of The Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." What if I told you that practicing The Golden Rule is actually a part of doing yoga? Follow along with our first series of the season as we talk about the 1st of 8 Limbs of Yoga: Yama. I think we can all agree that treating others the way we want to be treated is TOTALLY Self Care on Purpose.

I know, starting out 2023 with a '22 recap is pretty basic, but there's a reason why so many people do it! Reflecting on the past year allows us to see where we've been so we can see where we're going which makes it much easier to live in the present moment. I'm sure that doesn't make a bit of sense 😂 Guess you'll just have to listen to the episode to see what I mean!

We all crave more out of life. Maybe it's more money, more self-love, or more career success. Whatever it is, you are completely worthy and capable of receiving it and today's episode discusses the law of giving and receiving and some tools you can use to allow more abundance in your life.

We've all been there... One day we're doing the dang thing and the next day we can barely get out of bed. Today's episode covers what to do with those not-go-good days and reminds you that rest IS productivity.

Anyone been looking for a new job in a new field of interest only to be met with "must have experience"? How am I supposed to get the experience if you don't give me the opportunity to GAIN the experience? In this episode, I share my experience with career changes and talk a little bit about the effect our careers can have on our identity.

Hey kids! I got COVID (again) so I thought I'd share how to take care of your mental health when you're feeling under the weather!

Hey, kids! Did you know that failure isn't actually a thing? So, that must mean we don't have to be afraid of it anymore, right? Am I making any sense? Probably not, but I might after you listen to this episode.

Today's episode discusses everything you need to know about communication; when and how, why, and how to let it go.

Welcome to the (kinda) first episode of Self-care on Purpose: The Podcast! Brand new box, same great taste! 😂 I am your host and my name is Liz. Don't worry, if you came for RealTalkRedhead or for self-care and mental health content, you're in the right spot. Grab your bath bombs and facemasks and come on over! You deserve it.

This episode shines a light on why I've removed myself from all things Real Talk Redhead and what I'm planning to do when I come back.

Yes, kids. You read that right. Redhead has contracted the 'rona! Listen to this episode to get a detailed account of my experience with this virus.

Welcome to part two of this two-part episode where Janet and I discuss what it's like now vs then being transgender!

It's pride month and all month long, I will be interviewing some of my favorite members of the LGBTQIA+ community! Kicking this month off is SavryCooks, food blogger and lovely lady.

As a part of Mental Health Awareness Month, I have been made aware of some alarming changes lawmakers are trying to make in the medical and academic world of Transgender Youth in the United States. If these laws were to be passed, it would undoubtedly affect the mental health of these kids and their families, potentially raising the suicide rate among them even more. In today's episode, we talk about what these laws and policies are how we can do our part to stop them, and what we can do to support our friends and loved ones in the fight against Transphobia.

Do you take medication for your mental health? In today's episode, I reveal that I have made the decision to start taking meds, but I also discuss how much CBD has done for me. Also, I've chosen The JED Foundation as the charity I will be donating 10% of every #SelfCareOnPurpose self-care box to for the month of may

May is International Mental Health Awareness Month so naturally, Real Talk Redhead will be in full swing. In this episode, we talk all about Redhead's plans for the month of May, plus, a few surprises for ya'll!

It may not be a 'triumphant return' but I felt motivated and inspired with you guys to check in and see how ya'll are doing as well as update you on how life has been for the Redhead this past month. Are you practicing self-care? Made any new self-care discoveries?

Sometimes in love, you need to take a step back in order to see things now clearly. I have big plans for myself, and I want to make sure I do it right. So I'm giving nicely a much needed break to reset, recharge, reorganize and reprioritize. I'll still be around. This isn't a total unplug. But I just need a little time to be the best Redhead I can be! Until next time...
