    Take That to the Bank: How to Budget and Invest in Your Own Self-Care

    Most people think of self-care as something you either do or skip. Let's reframe self-care as something you budget for today and invest in for later.Self-care has a return on investment, and it's worth doing the math. This episode builds out a framework for thinking about the energy you have, what you spend it on, and whether what you're getting back justifies the cost. That includes a real conversation about the effort-benefit ratio, why guilt quietly cancels out the credit from things you actually did for yourself, and what it means to give yourself permission to rest before every dish is done.The wealth metaphor earns its keep here. There's a difference between budgeting what you have today and making investments that pay off for the person you're going to be next year. Physical health and relationships sit at the center of the long-term picture, along with an honest look at when caring for others is genuinely nourishing versus when it's quietly depleting you.There's also something worth hearing about the word "have to" and what changes when you replace it with "choose to." Small shift, different life.Send your questions to [email protected] and subscribe to follow the series as it continues.Rich Thoughts, Poor Jokes, is brought to you by Compass Coaching.

    60 Seconds to 60 Minutes: Real Self-Care Ideas You Actually Have Time For

    Not enough time for self-care is usually not the real problem. In this episode, we break down specific ideas across 30 seconds, five minutes, 20 minutes, and 60 minutes so you can actually use what you have.Self-care doesn't have to be a ritual you build up to. A 20-second hug has oxytocin science behind it. A gratitude practice done consistently rivals antidepressants in research. Getting one real thing crossed off a list, the kind that actually stays crossed off, counts. These are not hacks. They're just what it looks like when you take your time seriously, even in small amounts.This episode gets into the creative side of self-care: how to stack physical, social, and spiritual elements into a single short window, why engagement matters more than duration, and what separates processing a hard emotion from just recycling it. There's also an honest conversation about when self-care stops being the right tool and professional support becomes the more useful one.The goal isn't to optimize your wellness routine. It's to build something that actually fits your life and leaves you with more than you started with.Send your questions to [email protected] and subscribe to follow the series as it continues.Rich Thoughts, Poor Jokes, is brought to you by Compass Coaching.

    If You Were Your Own Best Friend: Self-Awareness, Self-Compassion, and Self-Care

    Most self-care efforts fail for the same reason: we skip the inner work first.In this episode, Dr. Roxy Riefkohl-Cook and Dr. Stephanie Ellis continue the self-care series by going beneath the surface to two things that have to come before any practice can last: self-awareness and self-compassion.Topics include how to identify your own values and needs rather than borrowing someone else's version, understanding the difference between stressors in the world and stress in your body, and why the two do not always line up. The conversation also covers the difference between self-care and self-indulgence, how boundaries are about what you will do rather than what you expect from others, and how to give your time and energy as a gift rather than a loan.Dr. Riefkohl-Cook and Dr. Stephanie Ellis also discuss self-compassion as a practical skill, including the work of Kristin Neff and Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, and how the language you use with yourself shapes whether self-care actually works long term. The episode closes with a conversation about JOMO, trusting the people who know you when your own self-awareness runs low, and what it means to invest in your future self.Send your questions to [email protected] and subscribe to follow the series as it continues.Rich Thoughts, Poor Jokes, is brought to you by Compass Coaching.

    What Self-Care ACTUALLY Means (And What it Doesn't)

    Self-care is everywhere, but most of what passes for it online is surface-level at best. Today, let's go deeper on what self-care actually is, why it has to be personal, and how to know if yours is working.In this episode, Dr. Roxy Riefkohl-Cook and Dr. Stephanie Ellis open a new series on self-care, wealth, and investing in yourself. They challenge the popular shorthand around self-care and offer a more useful, individualized framework for understanding what it really means.Topics include how to define self-care for yourself rather than borrowing someone else's version, the difference between quick-fix self-care and something lasting, and how to assess whether what you are doing is genuinely restorative. The conversation covers self-care across multiple areas of life including social connection, physical health, emotional wellbeing, intellectual growth, and spiritual practice.Dr. Riefkohl-Cook and Dr. Ellis also discuss the practical test for whether something counts: does it leave you with more natural energy than when you started, and is it something you actually want to do? They explore the difference between enjoyment and restoration, the trap of doing things to yourself rather than for yourself, and why self-care that does not account for your future self tends not to last.Send your questions to [email protected] and subscribe to follow the series as it continues.Rich Thoughts, Poor Jokes, is brought to you by Compass Coaching.
