What is Self-Care REALLY About?

I’ve been talking a lot about self-care lately…..

And I get a variety of responses from people when I mention it.

Oh, I need to get a pedicure so badly!

I don’t even know what self-care means to me anymore.

I feel so guilty when I take time for myself. 

I hear it every day and it is especially painful for me because I spent years NOT taking care of myself with unhelpful thoughts swirling in my head. 

After coaching hundreds of women I can tell you that real self-care busts through these myths.  

REAL self-care is creating a practice of: 

  • nurturing yourself in a regular way where you don’t need to escape,
  • knowing what you need for your body, heart and mind in order to truly recharge, and
  • accepting the fact that you have needs and getting them met guilt-free.

Listen, true self-care is not for the faint of heart. It isn’t easy, but I really do believe that true self-care is fundamental to living a full life.

We as women are often the caregivers. We’ve been taught to put everyone else first. We’re SO GOOD at NOT listening to our own needs…until those needs bubble up and scream at us and we can’t ignore them anymore. (Hello illness. Overwhelm. Anger.  Depression….) 

I’m speaking from experience here.

So I’ve made it a mission to help you find ways to tune in more closely to your needs.

Here are two easy-peasy ways:
