Episode 4: Here's Why You Need Self-Care Every Day
Alright, lady. It’s time for some real talk. Be honest - do you make self-care a regular part of your routine? Or, is self-care something you strive to include in your life, but you can’t seem to find the time? Perhaps making time for self-care feels too “selfish” or “self-indulgent” when you have a family, job, friends, and other responsibilities on your plate. Am I close? Here's Why You Need Self-Care Every Day While we might practice self-care every once in a while, I think many of us either don’t have the time, feel guilty about “indulging ourselves,” or both. We pack our schedules with work, meetings, volunteering, and after-school activities. And if we miraculously find a moment of “downtime,” we feel guilty for spending it on ourselves. And while this is an all-too-familiar situation for many of us, that does not make it okay. In fact, it’s a problem. So in today’s podcast, I’m here to help us take a step in the right direction and start incorporating self-care in our lives every day. Yes, you read that right. Daily self-care. Tune in now and learn how!

Episode 1: 3 Tips You Need to Easily Increase Productivity
Welcome to the I'm Busy Being Awesome Podcast. I am SO excited you're here! Back in 2017 when I launched my blog, I’m Busy Being Awesome, I knew I wanted to reach busy-awesome women who were chasing their biggest dreams. I wanted to help incredibly driven goal-getters who wanted to up-level their productivity and time management so they could rock their to-do list and make time for fun. And I wanted to spread the important message of practicing daily self-care. For the last two years, I’ve been doing just that on both my blog and through social media. But as I’ve gotten to know you incredible readers over the last two years, I’ve realized that perhaps the best way for me to share these messages of productivity, time management, and self-care is through a podcast. Now, if you’ve been following along on this journey on any of my social media channels, whether it’s my blog, Instagram, or Facebook, you know how much I love podcasts. They are so convenient for on-the-go, and they allow you to learn and grow at pretty much any time; they are perfect for driving to work, cleaning the house, making dinner, or working out. And since I know you amazing readers are often bouncing from one task, activity, or meeting to the next, I wanted to make sure you could get this information as easily as possible. And thus, the I’m Busy Being Awesome Podcast was born. Get stoked, my friend. This is going to be fun.
