After the holidays, many women find themselves feeling depleted, overstimulated, and disconnected — emotionally, physically, and mentally. In this episode we're talking about what happens after the adrenaline wears off and why self-care is not indulgent, vain, or optional — it's foundational.
We're joined by two heart-centered wellness professionals who support women through hands-on, nervous-system-regulating self-care. Lauryn Marissa Allen (Owner & CEO, Believe Skin Care Studio, Oakhurst, NJ) and Shaneale (Owner, KA Skin & Lash, Mobile Spa Serving New Jersey) share powerful insights on reframing skincare and spa services as acts of self-respect, not luxury, and how small moments of care can create lasting change in how women show up for themselves and others.
This conversation is about slowing down, releasing guilt, and redefining self-care as a sustainable wellness practice — especially in seasons when you've given everything to everyone else.

Self-care isn't selfish.
It isn't vanity.
And it isn't optional.
It's how you come back to yourself — grounded, present, and whole.
