Summary
Hustle culture leads many of us to wear ourselves thin while taking care of all our responsibilities, plus the needs of everyone else. This is simply not sustainable. In order to be spiritually nourished, we must listen to the needs of our souls. If you don’t know what you want, no amount of self-care will make you happy or fulfilled. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss the foundation of wellbeing and five tools for cultivating a true self-care practice.
“You can search for ways to take care of yourself. But I think the big question is, does any of that really lead you to greater happiness? It will not be possible—except maybe in the short term—unless you are really taking the time to know yourself.” – Michael Berg

| 0:58.0 | I accept that. |
| 0:59.0 | Thank you. |
| 1:00.0 | Thank you so much. |
| 1:01.0 | Let me write that down. |
| 1:02.0 | No more, more important. |

| 1:05.0 | Thank you. |
| 1:06.0 | Okay. |
| 1:07.0 | So. |
| 1:08.0 | The other phrases that you'd like me to change? |
| 1:09.0 | Yeah, I don't like but in general because when you say, but, actually, you can, like, if you give it like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. But you can ignore everything that was said before but, and really the only thing the person wanted to say was what you say after the word but. Right, there's actually a Kirby Enthusiasm episode. Really? That's a call, there's a phrase. It's not the word but, but it's a different way. It's, I forgot. I'm sure one of our listeners will send us. Well, I'm curious, so you'll have to look that up later. Yes. So let's go back to self-care. Yes.
