In this insightful episode, April Bordeau continues the conversation around Mental Health Awareness Month with a powerful focus on self-care. Joined by the amazing Jean Crane, they dive into how busy women, in particular, can prioritize themselves and nurture their well-being, even amidst a hectic life.
Key Topics:
- The Challenge of Self-Care: How can we make time for ourselves when life feels non-stop?
- The Power of Presence: Jean shares her experience with Shana Nyquist’s book Present Over Perfect and how it speaks to slowing down to truly experience life.
- Rest vs. Hustling: Discussing the importance of true rest and avoiding the trap of “fake resting,” where we pretend to take breaks while actually running on empty.
Takeaways:
- You Are Worth It: A gentle reminder that rest and self-care are not selfish; they are essential for maintaining long-term health and well-being.
- Reach Out for Support: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to lean on your support systems, whether it’s family, friends, or professionals.
- Permission to Pause: Giving yourself permission to stop and care for yourself is vital for your longevity and relationships.
