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, 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.

 

Real self-care takes strategy, and that is different for everybody. It's not something that you can just buy off the shelf, it's actually something that you have to create. Looking at your own your own life, your own priorities, your own values –real self-care is an internal process.

– Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self-Care, A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness
