Ep 248: Shed the guilt, embrace self-care

SelfKind with Erica Webb

Feel guilty engaging in self-care? Feel bad about having needs, like, at all? Worried that you have more self-care needs than other people? If so, this episode is for you.
In this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) I'm exploring those feelings of guilt and shame that arise around self-care and having needs in the first place.
The kicker here is that we're bumping up against a societal narrative that prioritises productivity and selflessness over personal well-being.
Tune in for the full episode and for a couple of tips about how to navigate these feelings when they come up.
