Large corporations aren't out there to teach you how to take care of yourself, but rather to guilt you into buying more and more of their products to make money. In this episode we talk about what the media and people online try to tell you that you should be doing for self-care and what we think you really should be doing to help make you the best you that you can be.

• “Self-care isn’t glamorous. It’s the everyday work you do for yourself to make you a little bit happier and healthy,”

― Huffington Post Self-Care For Women Is More Work Than Buying Products

• “True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do.”

― Thought Catalog This Is What ‘Self-Care’ REALLY Means, Because It’s Not All Salt Baths And Chocolate Cake
