Listen "214 — Why Self-Care Isn't the Answer to Your Problems"
Episode Synopsis
Self-care often gets hailed as the ultimate fix for stress, burnout, and every mental health issue. But self-care is frequently misunderstood. Sometimes, it can be like putting a Band-Aid on a deeper wound.
So if self-care isn't the cure-all answer, what really helps for long-term change? That's what I'm talking about today. Some of the things I share are:
Why self-care isn’t designed to fix issues like negative thinking patterns or toxic relationships.
The problem with quick fixes like bubble baths when your stress is rooted elsewhere.
The psychology behind building mental strength and why it’s more important than pampering yourself.
How to figure out if you need to fix the problem or fix how you feel about it.
The five practical steps that will help you strengthen your mind.
