When you hear the phrase self-care, what comes to mind? A massage? A bubble bath? A day at the spa? While those soothing moments absolutely have their place, self-care is often much bigger—and sometimes much less glamorous—than the way it's marketed to us.
In this episode, I explore the many forms self-care can take, from rest and relaxation to life maintenance, boundaries, creativity, identity, and even those tasks we'd rather avoid but know will bring relief once they're done. We talk about why self-care isn't a one-size-fits-all formula, how our needs change from season to season, and why true self-care often means asking not just, "What would soothe me?" but "What would actually support me right now?"
As we move into the busyness of summer, I invite you to reflect on your own self-care habits, notice what you may be neglecting, and consider how you can care for yourself in ways that honor who you are and who you're still becoming.
Take a deep breath, settle in, and join me for this conversation on self-care beyond the spa day.
