By now we’ve all heard of self-care. It’s something we’ve talked about often in the last four episodes of this podcast. Today’s conversation considers that even though we’ve heard of it, are aware of it, and admit that we need it; it can still be difficult to actually do it. Dr. Colleen Foster even points out that for industrious humans, it’s something we may have to schedule in time for. Our self-care isn’t something we can easily fit in. There is just so much that we want to accomplish every day that it falls off the list. Especially, when we have a hard time moving ourselves to a place of prominence.

The conversation covers a lot. We touch on invisible work, communicating upsetting news, and the importance of trust in leading teams. It’s a valuable conversation you are going to be glad you were part of, and take a lot away from.
