More Thoughts on Self-Care

Is Self-Care a Radical Act?

It shouldn’t be. But, guess what. For the majority of people, it is. And especially for women. 010617 Brodie Welch-65.jpg

Conscious and subconscious messaging to girls and women has been - and still often is - to take care of others first. To sacrifice.
Women are often called selfish when they take care of themselves. That goes right along with the fact that successful women are widely disliked and called the b…tch word while men are usually admired - even if they aren’t very nice.

But that is not what Brodie and I talk about in this interview. We talk about health. Mental, physical and emotional health. And guess what. They are all connected!

Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and other healthcare systems are looking at disease or disorder as a symptom of something being out of balance for the person. Then, the goal is to bring that person back into balance. All aspects are addressed. From diet to stress to toxins in the environment.

Allopathic or western Medicine, on the other hand, looks at the symptom and then treats that symptom.

Brodie Welch is a powerhouse of information! She shared so many good tips on staying and getting healthy during our podcast.

I highly encourage you to check out her website for the many free offerings she has for you - like a guided breath meditation or finding out what your Chinese element is.
