Dr. Pooja Lakshmin on Real Self-Care and Redefining Wellness -- Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble Baths NOT Included

What we think of as self-care might not be self-care at all. In fact, what we've come to know as "self-care" -- think expensive wellness retreats and fad diets and juice cleanses and creams and serums and the like -- is part of a gigantic self-care industry that makes its profit on making people, and especially women, feel terrible about themselves. That is not self-care. In fact, REAL self-care, as our guest today tells us, does the opposite of making ourselves feel terrible: It honors ourselves, uplifts ourselves, and celebrates ourselves. Not only that, but it's an inside job -- not something we can attend or purchase or obtain. Such a meaningful conversation that I hope you enjoy and get something out of.
