Episode 9 - Self-Care

This week I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of the most awesome and powerful people that I know – Laurie Lindsay Mulligan!!! You will be able to tell immediately why I asked her to be a guest. And she’s really going to share HER – her story, her experiences, her insights and most importantly her courage!!! You’ll know what I’m talking about when we get there.

This episode was all about self-care.  How to recognize it - how to maintain it - and what it looks like.  Best of all - this was all from the perspective of Laurie and her actual experiences!

Main points for self-care during a transition:

1. Beware and be aware of the Should vs the Need
2. Plan for self-care – plan to be the “vacation version of our best self”
3. Discover YOUR identity
4. You can’t inspire people if you’re not inspired
5. Find calm AND keep you chin up – literally and figuratively
6. Give yourself some credit – reflect or even list our accomplishments!
7. Seek the help you need
8. If you’re not going to do it today – you’re not going to do it tomorrow
9. Do a little bit everyday

I do want to reiterate a point that Laurie made. Neither of us are medical professionals. If you think you are depressed – seek help. Have the conversations – ask the questions. Take care of you! It’s OK – there is no shame, no stigma.

I promise you – if you follow any one of the tips that we discussed you will be in a better place. You will position yourself to Thrive in the transition.
