Is flaking - canceling at the last second - the new self-care?

It seems to be on the rise and according to an article in The Guardian, the answer for some people is yes.

I disagree.

Flaking is avoidable with healthy boundaries and self-knowledge, and there are many self-care practices we can do that don’t involve regularly canceling on others.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on flaking, explore the nuances of having the right to change our minds (which I stand by), and detail steps to take for actual self-care in your life.
