Self care never goes out of style. When we originally recorded this episode in January of 2019, we had no idea how important self care was going to become during the pandemic. This holiday season, we thought we'd share this important message again.

Now that the holidays are over, it's a good idea to focus on taking care of yourself. This week Janine and Shannon discuss the importance of self care and what that means for them. 

Discussion topics include:

• The fact that self care means something different to everyone

• Shannon and Janine’s favorite self-care activities

• The joy of floating in a flotation tank

• The importance of creating time for self care (whatever that means to you)

• Shannon’s idea for making exercise feel like self care when it usually doesn’t

• Taking away the barriers to taking care of yourself

• Making sure that your treats (like shopping) are actually good self care

• Quiet reading or nice walks as self care (Shannon)

• Crafting with friends as self care (Janine)

• How Janine and her brother practiced self care by gorging on pot stickers in Walla Walla

• Belly laughs as self care
