These days when you hear the term “self-care” it’s hard not to think about things like vacations, shopping sprees, and spa days. While I am a proponent of pampering yourself, it seems like our collective understanding of what constitutes self-care is becoming more lavish and materialistic, making a fundamental component of self-actualization feel out of reach for many. To counter this narrative, I want to share the framework I use with clients to make self-care feel more accessible, applicable, and impactful.
