Hot Take: The Truth About Self-Care

Hi friends,

Have you ever wondered what the deal is with pushing "self-care" so much? We hear daily about making time and caring for our mental and physical well-being. Society pushes the "treat yourself" and the "take a bubble bath" messages, gaslighting us into thinking that something so simple could help solve the many issues we currently face.

Unfortunately, many of us understand that this isn't the case. This is called performative self-care, in which the root causes of our stress and anguish are pushed further down the road to deal with later, leaving us with a bandaid on a 3rd-degree burn.

Burnout is only fast-tracked in this case, leading to learned helplessness and hopelessness that our situations may never return to a more sustainable state.

So let's get to the truth about self-care. Click the link below to read the full article.

I have two VIP coaching spots available for anyone looking for more focused support this season. I have coached my VIPs through university coursework and schedules, work and personal life balance, the transition between jobs and other life events, as well as burnout prevention and recovery. Most of my VIPs stick around between 6-8 months as they work through setting up sustainable routines and achieving peace with their current situations. Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you'd like to take advantage of this limited opportunity.

Until next time, friends.
