Self care is a radical practice for people of color, women, and other marginalized folks. We forget that our peace is just as important as our work. The wellness girl archetype has caused some to either reject the idea of having a routine or obsess over it. We need to find somewhere in the middle, honoring that everyone's life is different. Practicing wellness every day and having a set plan is a preventive measure for our health. Find out my routine that took years to craft in this episode!

Over-identifying with who we "should be" or "could be" is common among this generation, as we feel the pressure to be different, exceptional, or even to just keep up with those around us. In this episode, we use psychology research to affirm how we all might be feeling and uncover the unseen emotions behind feeling conflicted or lost about the future. Let's talk about how feeling lost, fearing the future, not feeling enough, wanting to be accepted by others, or never feeling satisfied is tied to depression and has become a plight of our generation.
