Episode 3468:
Kate Hesse highlights the critical distinction between self-care and self-work, explaining how each serves unique purposes in maintaining balance. While self-care replenishes energy and promotes relaxation, self-work involves active growth and introspection, often requiring effort and intention. By understanding and balancing these practices, we can better align with our needs, achieve personal growth, and maintain well-being.

Quotes to ponder:
"I define self-work as any activity where you are actively working on yourself. This could be mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical."
"Self-care allows you to recharge. It gives you the reserves you need to keep working on both self-work and your day-to-day responsibilities."
"Sometimes the only difference between self-work and self-care is your attitude and approach."
