Self-Care Isn't Selfish

Welcome to another invigorating episode of Drinks With The Girls, where Karen and Lisa dive deep into redefining the concept of self-care as self-indulgence. In today’s society, women have been conditioned to view self-care through the lens of obligation rather than indulgence. This episode unravels those misconceptions and explores how women over 40 can reclaim their joy through intentional self-indulgence.

Join Karen and Lisa as they share humorous personal stories, real-life experiences, and poignant insights into how self-indulgence, often confused with selfishness, is actually an essential practice for maintaining balance and joy in midlife. From taking restful naps to engaging in creative outlets and savoring moments of idleness, discover the liberating power of putting your own needs first.

In this episode, the duo also discusses the challenges women face in overcoming societal conditioning, the importance of community and friendship in self-care practices, and issuing a self-indulgence challenge to help listeners prioritize their desires and wellbeing.

Through laughter, candidness, and a supportive sisterhood, Drinks With The Girls isn't just a podcast; it's a movement encouraging women to embrace the art of self-indulgence unapologetically and vibrantly. Raise your glasses and tune in for an episode that’s all about nurturing the mind, body, and soul during this incredible season of life.
