You Time | Self-care Podcast

For many people (especially women), we’ve been conditioned to believe that caring for our needs before the wants or needs of others is selfish.  Or that taking time for ourselves is shameful behavior. Due to this belief, there can be a sense of self-care guilt that often stops us from taking note of and creating space for our requirements for happiness. We end up feeling overwhelmed, burned out, unheard, and completely unsupported. Learning how to let go of the guilt around creating self-care can help you get closer to creating a fulfilling and happy life – one you feel supported in living.
