Episode Nine - Self Care

Self-Care

Self-care is a term we hear often, but its meaning can easily become blurred or oversimplified.

In this episode, I explore self-care as something deeper than occasional treats or routines. We look at self-care as a compassionate way of responding to ourselves particularly during times of stress, emotional difficulty, or change.

I reflect on:

​ Why self-care can feel difficult to prioritise

​ The difference between practical self-care and emotional self-care

​ How self-care can be subtle, personal, and shaped by your circumstances

​ Gentle, realistic ways to support yourself when life feels demanding

This episode offers space to slow down, reflect, and consider what self-care might look like for you right now without pressure or expectation.

These changes can feel unpredictable and overwhelming, but they are part of a recognised medical condition, not a personal failing.
