This week, after a WhatsApp-related rant, we move on to talk about self-care for superwoman. A term we’re not really fans of, but following the massive reaction to a quote we put up on our instagram (@the30thrive), we decided to make it our topic this week. We talk: Our telltale signs for when we need rest Claiming that time without guilt How we replenish and relax A caveat before you listen: this episode was pre-recorded owing to Mother’s Day plans. Obviously, this was also before the developments this week with Coronavirus. We do hope you’ve had as good a week as is possible, and that the lack of the c-word, actually provides some light relief. Don’t mistake us not mentioning it as insensitive. Enjoy the episode.
