Quotes:
“I’m never going to tell you, you need to take steps 1, 2, and 3 to live your best life.”
“It’s kind of turned self-care into just another thing that we can fail at in life.”
“Self-care is really about digging into the things that fill us up, that energize us, that make us feel really content and safe and restful.”
“You have to kind of manage your energy a little bit more carefully than someone who perhaps might be healthy.”
“Set your own values and intentions, especially for seasons like the holiday season.”
“It’s about you identifying what feels good for you.”
“We were never meant to do all this alone.”
“It’s like putting a little negative screen over my eyes, and I can’t really see the things in the world how I usually do.”
“Self-care is not something you need to be able to afford…it’s you taking care of yourself.”
