Inspiration from the Couch
Ever wonder what tools and advice psychologists are inspired to use in their own lives? Join Avery, Jamie, and Lucy, three psychologists, and moms, as they discuss what they’ve figured out, what they’ve yet to figure out, and what there’s just no figuring out. Through our stories and pearls of wisdom, we hope we can inspire listeners to connect to themselves and others more mindfully, authentically, and powerfully. It’s sure to be fun, and you may learn a little something along the way!

Episode 60
Settle in and pop on your oxygen mask, as today’s episode is all about taking care of yourself. The Inspiration from the Couch ladies walk you through it all: what is self-care, why it’s important, and what gets in the way. Instead of adding more self-care “tasks” to your to-do list, we frame our discussion as giving yourself permission to prioritize yourself. We walk you through our top 5 permission slips:
- Permission to Say No
- Permission to Ask for Help
- Permission to Hit the Easy Button
- Permission to Slow Down, Rest, and Savor
- Permission to be Kind to Yourself
Do Try This at Home:
- Pick the one permission slip that you need the most and make yourself a bona fide, actual, paper permission slip that you post somewhere in your house (if you don’t want to make your own, you can download ours for our website!)
