S02 E10: Our thoughts on realistic self care while being self-employed.

Have you experienced burn out associated with the unrealistic demands from work and life? 

We have - many times. 

We’re talking about how we notice when we are starting to creep up to it. We both know what it’s like to face the pressure of being available all the time and feeling like you can’t turn down any opportunities, being self-employed.

How do you take care of yourself while in this constant cycle of trying to create a work-life balance? We offer our tips for self care you can realistically do - don’t expect advice to have a bath, drink a green juice and write in your journal here...we’re giving advice you can actually have time to implement.

We get it - there is never enough time in your day to do these things and self care goes out the window real fast. It’s a constant learning process of recognising your needs, your energy levels, what drains you, what energises you and then trying to find a balance within that.

Have a listen to our advice that comes from a combined 20 years of experience navigating self employed life.This is our final episode for Season 2 as well - we’re signing off until mid 2024 as Melinda needs to have a baby and adjust to her new role as a mom, and Ashley needs to finish her Nutrition schooling. 

Let us know if there’s any guests you want us to have on the show or any topics you want to hear more about! 

Thanks for listening!
