  • Resumen

  • Have you ever put on a face mask, expecting it to solve all your mental health problems? That seems…unrealistic, but it’s what self-care marketing tells us: get your self-care right, and all your difficulties will evaporate. This week on It’s OK, Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, author of Real Self-Care, breaks down what “self-care” actually means when we’re living in a complex, capitalistic world. It’s an exploration of grief, burnout, and exhaustion, and what it takes to care for yourself inside systems that repeatedly ignore their part in your suffering. In this episode we cover: Why self-care doesn’t workHow hope is different than optimismDoes looking for your own answers mean you have to do things alone?Accepting help as a bid for connectionHow Dr. Lakshmin’s definition of boundaries can help you practice real self-care We're re-releasing some of our favorite episodes from the first 3 seasons.
