Ep 5 Is self care selfish or essential?

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 00:15:00 +0000

Today is all about self care with Cath and Charlotte from the The Authentic Girls Club

We feel passionately about sharing the importance of giving to ourself what we so freely give to others. When we move ourselves from the bottom of the pile to the top and start taking care of ourselves first, we are in such a better place to look after and give to others that we love and care for.

Here are the main topics we discuss today with Cat and Charlotte from The Authentic Girls Club

What self care means to us (not just a pamper day at the spa, small little things every day)
Why self care is essential (what it does for us physically and mentally)
Why self care is selfless not selfish (how it serves others in better ways)
How you can start practicing self care today (with tips and action steps)
