36. Rita Garnto of Simple Self-Care by Rita

Self-care is almost intrinsic to Rita Garnto. After spending 20 years working in trauma centers around the world, Rita became a licensed massage therapist after moving to Charlotte in 2004. Now she's using her love of care and teaching to help people directly through her business, Simple Self-Care by Rita.

Rita Garnto talks with Nesha Pai about her journey through medicine, including studying in her home country of Canada, through working trauma centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She also describes some of her missteps along the way that include battles with debt.

Rita also discusses her own self-care routine, being a mom, and also gives listeners practical information about how they can manage stress and anxiety on a day-to-day basis.
