Epi 229: Why Fake Self-Care Doesn’t Work The Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast with Danielle A. Vann

There’s a good chance that at one point or another, you’ve either been told you need to practice some form of self-care, or you’ve actively sought out some form of care to help you maintain your life, health, and overall well-being. The biggest issue is sometimes what we choose doesn’t help! Many of us think we know what self-care is and why we need it, but  let’s face it: fake self-care will not solve your problems, help you find balance, and will not serve you in the long run.
