How to practice self-care? (from a cancer survivor's perspective) - In conversation with Evgeniya (Jenya) Prokhno and Zip Nguyen

❓ What can we learn about self-care from a cancer survivor’s perspective, and how to show support to your loved ones who are diagnosed with cancer?

❓ Is it healthy to spend time alone every now and then?

❓ How can young women manage their self-esteem while facing unrealistic standards in the era of social media?

In this episode, our guest speaker, Evgeniya (Jenya) Prokhno joins us to share the story of how she battled cancer and found her own ways to practice self-care.

We hope that Jenya's inspiring story will not only give you another perspective to consider for your own self-care journey, but it will also help you learn more about how to take care of your loved ones in their difficult times or build up your self-esteem regardless of the unrealistic standards imposed on social media.
