Hey everybody! Welcome to Big Sister Chats, the podcast where we dive into all things mental health, physical well-being, and cultivating a positive mindset. ✨

Get comfortable or pretend that we’re on a phone call like siblings who talk about life experiences. This is how I want this podcast to feel like - a place where you can share your worries and I can offer my advice and hopefully make you feel a bit better. 💕

Whether it’s about growing in life or tackling everyday challenges, I’ve got you covered. 💪

In this episode, we are talking about self care. 🤍

"Go take a bubble bath and you’ll feel fine." Yeah, babes, that’s not how it works, sadly.

Self-Care. The word is all over social media. So I wondered: Is it just a trend? Just a vibe or a style that some people have? Is it just a fancy word, like we call regular walks “hot girl walks” now?

But I realized it’s not. Or it shouldn’t be. While it all seems so perfect on Instagram and Co, self care isn’t just putting cucumbers on your eyes, living a minimalist lifestyle and standing up at 5 in the morning. 👑

Growing up with three brothers, I always wished I had another woman to turn to for advice. If you’ve ever felt the same way, you’re in the right place. 💅

Redefine Self-Care as a Daily Essential, Not a Luxury

Self-care isn’t just about treating yourself; it's about taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It can be as simple as setting boundaries, getting enough sleep, or saying no to things that drain you.

Recap & Key Take-Aways

So, let’s recap what we’ve learned today:

Redefine Self-Care: It's not just about an aesthetic; it's taking care of your overall well-being.

Incorporate Self-Care into Daily Life: Small, consistent practices like taking breaks, breathing exercises, or setting boundaries can have a big impact.

Self-Care is Personal: Your routine should be tailored to what genuinely recharges you; it's okay if it doesn't look like everyone else's.

Consistency Over Perfection: Self-care is about growth, not perfection.

There are so many forms of Self-Care: find what works best for you.

Self-Care isn’t just a Trend: While self-care is popular, it’s more than a trend—it's a lifelong practice essential for managing stress and maintaining balance in a fast-paced world.
