Discussing the barriers that often prevent us from prioritizing self-care, such as feelings of undeservingness or the glorification of overwork, they emphasize the necessity of redefining pleasure as a disciplined commitment rather than mere indulgence. Tune in as the pair unravel the daily practices and mindsets that can integrate self-care into our everyday lives and challenge the extremes by promoting emotional balance and stability. Join Alana and Kassi in this enlightening discussion to understand how true self-care can transform not just moments, but the entirety of our lives.
