I was so lucky to find Tara Pringle Jefferson last year when - like so many other business owners and entrepreneurs - I was juggling my business and a lot of other stuff that I hadn’t expected to be responsible for - like homeschooling during a pandemic, for example - and I desperately needed to create a new baseline for how to work within my business AND how to recharge so I could really show up for my clients as well as my family. She helped put me on the path to better balance.
Tara Pringle Jefferson is a writer, speaker, and self-care coach with a lifelong passion for creating community. As founder of the Self Care Suite, she created a wellness community for Black women and other women of color to unlearn exhaustion as their default and develop self-care rituals to sustain themselves. When she’s not working, she’s making runs to Trader Joe’s and trying to perfect her recipe for the perfect pound cake. Born and raised in the Midwest, she lives in Ohio with her husband and two children.
If you’ve ever struggled to squeeze in time for yourself between work and other obligations, Tara has some great insights to help you prioritize filling up your cup.
In this interview, Tara shares:
> What self care actually is. (HINT: it’s not all bath bombs and pedicures.)
> The misconceptions we have about self care (especially the ones that prevent us from doing it to begin with - so we can move past them.)
> How community has been key to her business growth and her own self care journey.
PLUS, she shares the radical self care practice she does every year!
