EP 60: Self-Care: More than a Face Mask
Show Notes

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: 

  1. Permission to Say No
  2. Permission to Ask for Help
  3. Permission to Hit the Easy Button
  4. Permission to Slow Down, Rest, and Savor
  5. 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!)
