Episode 217: How to prioritize self-care

About this episode

This episode discusses how to prioritize self-care and integrate it into daily life as a standard practice rather than a goal.

Today's show is the how to hack on prioritizing! “I’ll get to some self-care once everything else is done.” How many times have you said that this week? For most of us, self-care sits at the very bottom of a never-ending to-do list—a "nice-to-have" goal that we only reach if the stars align and the dishes are done . In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script. We’re moving self-care out of the "someday" category and into the "standard operating procedure" category. We explore why treating your well-being as a rule rather than a goal is the only way to actually sustain your energy, your mental health, and your joy.
