And how can anyone possibly fit it into an already jam packed schedule? In this podcast, clinical psychologist Dr. Robyn Gobin provides a fresh perspective on the definition of self-care, explores why it’s essential, how to make time for it, and how self-care benefits you and your loved ones. Tune in for your weekly dose of self-care where you’ll hear honest conversations and learn practical tips on taking better care of yourself--mind, body, and spirit.

Self-Love is the New #RelationshipGoals
Self-care means different things to different people, but can be followed by all of us because it's something that refuels us, rather than takes from us. Self-care isn’t a selfish act either. It is not only about considering our needs; it is rather about knowing what we need to do in order to take care of ourselves, being subsequently, able to take care of others as well. That is, if I don’t take enough care of myself, I won’t be in the place to give to my loved ones either. HenceSelf-Love is the New #RelationshipGoals.
