Today, we’re rethinking self-care beyond the typical advice. Instead of quick fixes like candles and matcha, real self-care addresses the systemic burdens, especially on women. We carry the unpaid labor and mental load, managing kids, elderly care, and household chores, often leading to burnout. True self-care isn’t just about meditation or yoga; it’s about fiercely protecting our mental and physical health, setting boundaries, and asking for help. It means holding onto our true selves and not shape-shifting to fit societal norms. Audre Lorde’s words, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgent, it's self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare," capture this perfectly.
In this episode, we chitty-chat about:
