In this episode, I’m talking to growth coach, Natalie Alexia about all things self-care.
We all know how important self-care is (even if some of us totally ignore the good habits we KNOW we should be developing).

The key takeaways:
💛 How we treat ourselves is an indicator of how we allow other people to treat us.
💛 Our society places a lot of worth on “doing”, but you have to find the balance with “being”.

It’s giving you the impetus for action.
💛 We make up stories that everything is the most important thing. And we also make up stories that there is no one else who can do anything the way that we do it. And that means that it’s not right or not good enough. Those are really exhausting thoughts. And they’re not true.
