Self-Care Misconception

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is endless and self-care is always the first thing to fall off? If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll rest when I finish this project” or “I just need to push through,” or “When I have something to celebrate, I’ll do it with self care…” Well, then this episode is for you.

Alisha Robertson is on a mission to help women entrepreneurs manage their capacity and make rest a daily priority. After experiencing severe burnout, she shut down her coaching business, took a full year off, and did the deep work to redefine success. Now, as the founder of Doing Everyday Well, she’s giving women practical tools to build businesses that don’t require sacrificing their well-being.

In this episode, Alisha and I are tackling how to actually schedule self-care into your daily life, why not planning around your energy leads straight to burnout, and why rest is your most profitable business strategy. If you’re tired of glorifying the hustle and ready to start prioritizing yourself, Alisha and I had YOU in mind!
