“I do not think that word means what you think it means”
The princess bride.
The term “self care” has joined the ranks of other terms that have been watered down, co-opted, or re-defined to the point that it means nothing.
I have noticed a concerning trend with self care, it has been used to manipulate, bully, and has been productized and sold. So I asked my friend and selfcare & resilience coach Stacy Fisher to join me and talk about the topic, and how you can find what works best for you. (without making a purchase!)
Remember, feelings are meant to be felt, not used against you to make you feal.
What you’ll hear on today’s episode:
- What is self care
- Patterns and Habits
- The self-care paradox
- How to spot manipulation
- The 8 dimensions of self care framework
- How to identify rhythms
- Daily rituals
- How MLM’s use personal development to manipulate
- Accepting what is
- Finding your own routine
