What does real self-care look like? Is your self-care routine actually improving your mental health, or is it just a temporary escape (with an extra dose of self soothing)? In this episode, I’ll break down what real self-care means — beyond bubble baths and quick fixes — and I’ll share practical sustainable ways to take better care of your mental health (along with your emotional and physical wellbeing). Because true self-care isn’t about indulgence; it’s about building your resilience, setting boundaries, and making choices that genuinely improve your life. Ready to make self-care work for you, instead of it just being another thing on your to-do list? Then let’s talk! 😃
