Sinopse

Self-care is a popular term, but what is it really? Real self-care is hard work and involves making difficult choices in your own life. How can we change our mindset around self-care to ensure that we're taking care of ourselves and not just following the latest faux-wellness fads? On this episode, Jen Fisher, talks with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, a board-certified psychiatrist, a clinical assistant professor, author of Real Self-Care, and the founder and CEO of Gemma, about what real self-care is, and how setting boundaries and identifying values helps people achieve their wellness goals.
