  • AP 733: A Case for BIG Acts of Self-Care for Reconnection and Self-Reclamation

    AP 733: A Case for BIG Acts of Self-Care for Reconnection and Self-Reclamation
    Nov 3 2025
    I've always emphasized the beauty and sustainability of small daily habits for self-improvement. But occasionally, our self-care journey demands a more significant leap to reboot our personal development. On this episode I shared how my recent solo trip to London was a radical act of self-care for me. It's essential to recognize that personal growth and development sometimes require us to stretch beyond our comfort zones, reminding ourselves of our own self-worth and the importance of self-care. These experiences, whether starting daily habits or planning an adventure abroad, define how to stop being a perfectionist and enrich our journeys toward how to feel happy. So, my call to you is straightforward: consider your own big step in self-care—it's time to reclaim, reconnect, and embrace your true self.
