Unsexy Self Care
Let’s talk about self-care—the kind that doesn’t get the Instagram spotlight. I’m diving into what I like to call "unsexy self-care" because, while bubble baths and spa days are great, they’re not the real foundation of looking after ourselves.
In this episode, I’m getting real about the basics: drinking enough water, eating proper meals (at the right times and in the right portions), and making sure you’re getting the sleep your body actually needs. These might not sound glamorous, but they’re absolutely essential for keeping your brain and body functioning at their best—especially if you’re running a business or just trying to keep up with life’s demands.
I also get honest about overworking and pulling all-nighters. Sure, they might feel unavoidable sometimes, but they should never become the norm. Burnout isn’t a badge of honour—it’s a roadblock to everything you’re working so hard to achieve.
If you’re ready to strip self-care back to its foundations and start making choices that support your long-term success and wellbeing, this episode is for you. Let’s stop glorifying the grind and start taking care of the basics that really matter.
