The Ultimate Journey of Self-Care
Alison Katschkowsky
What does Self Care look like to you?
It's not a spa day, a massage or a workout. It's not a day off from work, or a bubble bath.
It's so much more than the things we do, it's HOW we prioritize ourselves in general.

Tuesday's show is a deeper dive into what self care can look like for you with conversations about fitness, mindset, energy eating and fuel for your body, spirituality, travel and leisure and more.
