In today's episode, inspired by a recent conversation with a client who described the 'guilt' she felt for choosing to spend time on herSELF, I unpack how "self-care", especially for anyone who identifies as a woman, can be seen as an indulgent luxury... rather than the daily self-nurturing that we surely have the right to.

I'll cover:

• The impact my ambitiousness / workaholism had on my physical and mental health (clue: physical impact from burnout and high stress environments)
• Generational & political shifts from “work TO survive” to “work AND thrive”
• Impact of intersectionality (eg how race / class / disability) on the pursuit & experience of how we can ‘self-care’…and seeing it as a tool to counteract systems of oppression, ultimately building healthier more empowered (and less divisive) communities

• Self-care as daily self nourishment vs one-off experiences or just on weekends and special occasions

I finish the episode with some practical tips aka #WaiWays you can integrate forms of self-care practices (physical, emotional/psychological, spiritual and workplace-related) into your day to day.
