Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!Is self-care selfish? We say no. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and you can’t only exhale.This week, Denise and Sandy talk about self-care, giving, and the boundaries that keep you from burning out.In this episode: • Why self-care fills your cup, so others get your overflow instead of what’s left of you • The oxygen mask rule: put yours on first • Giving and receiving are like inhaling and exhaling. Do only one and you can’t breathe. • The 18 types of givers, from the encourager and the listener to the people pleaser and the over-giver. Which one are you? • When giving fills your cup, and when it quietly drains you • How your mind, body, and soul get you ready to say “enough is enough” before you even realize it • Becoming a boundary giver: still kind, still generous, just not depleted • The seed that pushes through a hard shell and dark dirt and still finds the light • Self-care isn’t just pedicures: Denise watches comedy clips between clients, Sandy sings, watches classic TV over lunch, and writes herself four kind lines a day • The man who had everything but wasn’t happy, until he started givingThe takeaway: self-care looks different for everyone. Find what fills your cup, even if it’s five minutes, and give from the overflow.Help us reach 100 subscribers! Once we get there, we’ll start bringing listeners on the show as guests.
