About this episode

This episode explores the distinction between self care and basic needs, encouraging a mindset shift for better personal well-being.

We've talked a lot about stress management and self care on previous episodes, but maybe I've been calling it the wrong thing. Is it self care or is it really your basic needs. In this episode, we'll explore whether you've been thinking about self care backwards and how to change your mindset so you can start showing up at your best. If you’re listening to this podcast, you take your role as a leader seriously. You want to be more effective. You want to lead your team to greater success...
