Self Care used to sound like just mere words to me. In fact, at a point, those words began to traumatize me. Hearing them made me feel judged and inadequate. I did not think I had the resources – time, money, strength – to afford it. I was afraid to try. Today, with the help of many, including guests on Messy Can’t Stop Her, I now know that it is more about the intention and the steps, no matter how small. 

I’ve learnt that even taking a moment to breathe deeply can make a difference in my life. In this episode, I share what I’ve learnt and how my lack of self care can impact my generations. Sadly, I am not alone in the fears I had. To every one of my sisters in the trenches of life, this is my encouragement to you, please prioritize your self care. Messy won’t stop you.
