119 Spiritual Self-Care: How to Build a Daily Practice that Grounds and Reconnects You
Spiritual self-care doesn't require a religion, a label, or a meditation cushion. It's simply the practice of connecting to something bigger than your to-do list — your values, your sense of purpose, the stillness underneath all the noise. And for most of us, it's the most neglected domain of self-care there is.
In this final episode of the self-care arc, Becca explores what spiritual self-care actually means and how to build a simple, sustainable practice that grounds you — whatever your background or beliefs. From stillness and silence to nature, creativity, and values alignment, this episode gives you a fram...
118 Emotional Self-Care: How to Process Your Feelings Instead of Suppressing Them
Most of us are carrying an emotional backlog we don't even know is there. We've gotten so good at pushing feelings down, staying busy, and moving on — that we've lost the ability to process what we feel. And those unprocessed emotions don't disappear. They show up in our reactions, our relationships, our bodies, and our choices.
In this episode, Becca breaks down what emotional self-care actually involves, how to identify your emotional patterns, and five practical tools for processing emotions in healthy ways. She also talks about emotional boundaries — what they are, why they're hard, and how to s...
117 Physical Self Care: How to Treat Your Body as an Act of Self-Respect
Your body is the vehicle for everything you want to do in this life — and most of us treat it like a machine we push until it breaks, rather than something worth tending to with love and intention.
In this episode, Becca dives into the physical domain of self-care: sleep, movement, nourishment, hydration, and rest. Not from a "how to optimize your body" angle — but from a self-respect angle. When you genuinely care about yourself, how you treat your body reflects that.
You'll learn why sleep is the foundation of everything, how to find movement that...
116 What Self-Care Really Means - And Why You’re Probably Getting It Wrong
Self-care has been sold to us as bubble baths, face masks, and "treat yourself" moments. But real self-care? It's the unglamorous, consistent work of choosing yourself — even when you're tired, even when it's inconvenient, even when nobody's watching.
In this co-hosted episode, Becca and guest co-host Amy Stackhouse break down what self-care actually is across five key domains: physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual. You'll hear why most of us resist the real thing (hint: it has everything to do with worthiness), the difference between self-care and self-indulgence, and how to run a simple self-care baseline audit to...
