Welcome to the first episode of My Self-Care Shit, the podcast where we dive deep into what true self-care really looks like—and it’s not just about bubble baths and massages. I’m your host, Kathy Love, and this is the beginning of a journey we’re going to take together. In this first episode, I talk about how I finally hit record after months of procrastination, the journey that led me to truly understand self-care, and why it’s so much more than the clichés we often hear. I’ll share how small, simple practices changed everything for me. Each week, we’ll explore a new aspect of self-care and learn how to make it our own—whether that’s through journaling, setting boundaries, or learning to listen to our true needs. This is just the beginning, so I’m glad you’re here.

In this episode, Kathy shares:

• Overcoming Procrastination: Kathy discusses the delay in starting her podcast, the fear of getting it perfect, and how she finally decided to stop waiting and just hit record.
• What Self-Care Really Is: Kathy talks about how she initially misunderstood self-care and how, through trial and error, she discovered what it truly means to take care of herself—focusing on simple, accessible actions that made a real difference.
• Reconnecting with You: Kathy shares her personal experience with reconnecting with herself, and how self-care is about discovering what you need to feel peaceful, healthy, and whole.
• Finding What Works for You: This episode emphasizes the idea that self-care is a journey. Kathy explores how she made a list of things that made her feel peaceful and happy, which eventually became My Self-Care Shit: The Workbook.
• The Importance of Knowing Yourself: One of the biggest lessons Kathy has learned is that self-care is about knowing who you are, what you need, and what you want, which often means learning to prioritize yourself after years of putting others first.

Key Takeaways:

• Self-care is a practice of reconnecting with yourself, not just pampering yourself.
• Learning to be alone and embrace stillness is a huge part of self-care.
• Self-care can be simple, cost-effective, and accessible—it's all about finding what works for you.
• It's normal to struggle with self-care. The important part is the willingness to keep searching for what resonates with you.
