#43: The Lazy Genius and Self Care
It's easy to lose ourselves in the holidays... which is why we so look forward to the clean start of January. But do we have to wait with our shoulders clenched, crossing our fingers that we can present with the month also finishing quickly? I hope not, but you know. In this episode, let's talk about what it means to take care of ourselves during a busy season. Spas are optional. Some of my favorite self-care items:
this cleansing oil from Some Call Me Crunchy
my Penny and Sparrow playlist
baking bread with Paul
