This week we talk about designing real self-care versus faux self care.
Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, MD is a psychiatrist and author, the founder of Gemma, the digital community focused on women’s mental health and equity; and a contributor to The New York Times. Her new book, REAL SELF-CARE: Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble-Baths Not Included, has been featured on Good Morning America, NPR’s Code Switch and 1A, Talks @ Google, The New York Times, Vox, and The Guardian. Pooja has spent thousands of hours taking care of women struggling with burnout, despair, depression, and anxiety in her clinical practice. Her work focuses on the intersection of mental health and gender. She frequently delivers keynotes and consults with organizations and Fortune 500 hundred companies to help women and marginalized groups feel empowered and to connect with their agency in the workplace.
