Self-care is figuring out what makes you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally taken care of, and then inserting that into your life as regularly as possible. In this episode, I talk about the things big and small that I know I like because often they make my face hurt from smiling so hard: mahjong with friends, hiking with friends, dancing with friends.

The beginning of the year is always a popular time to start something new. This is part of a psychological phenomenon known as the "Fresh Start Effect." In this episode, I'll give you three steps to maximize the "Fresh Start Effect" to help you kick-start whatever it is you want: a new job, writing a book, improving your health.

Self-care has become something of a buzzword, but most of us might only think of a massage or a spa day when we hear it. In fact, self-care is best defined as "ensuring your well-being by tending to emotional or physical needs." It can be as simple as drinking enough water or calling a friend. Self-care is essential. But how do you get it into your life on the daily so that you are able to keep your tank as full as possible? That's what I talk about in this episode.
