Summary

“Your energy is your most valuable resource. How do you make sure you’re spending it on things that actually make a difference?”

As the Chief People Officer at Hubspot, it is Katie Burke's job to take care of people. So when your job is other people — whether at work or at home — how do you take care of you? On this episode, Ali on the Run Show favorite Katie Burke shares 10 practical, tactical, super important ways to make sure your needs are met. And this isn't a fluffy self-care pep talk about reading before bed or taking baths on the weekend. This is about learning to play offense in your own life. (Look at me, using sports references!) Plus, Katie talks about why you should make a "worry list," offers her own take on the over-used phrase "self-care," and explains why this advice is especially important now. (For more, read Katie's just-published post, "Taking Care of You," here.)

0:19.0	Hi, welcome to The Alley on the Run Show. I'm your host, Ali Feller, and I am so happy to be here
0:25.2	with you today. Let's do the deep breath thing. If you're new here, sometimes I forget to take
0:30.8	shallow breaths, let alone big, clearing deep breaths. So we do it together. Come along with me,
0:36.7	deep breath in and out. Let's do it.
0:44.7	It's so much better. I know it's probably weird to hear me breathe into a microphone, but I always
0:49.7	feel better after I do that. So I hope you do as well. Feel free to keep taking those breaths.
0:54.8	All day, every day, for the rest of your life. Now, if you are a long time Ali on the Run Show
1:02.0	listener, you probably already know and love Katie Burke. Katie is the chief people officer at
1:09.2	HubSpot in Boston, where her job is people. Taking care of people, making sure people are happy,
1:16.0	generally looking out for people, and being a great person in the process. Be it to see it, right?
1:21.7	Katie is a magical human. I feel so lucky to get to consider her a friend, just so, so, so lucky,

1:34.8	and I should probably ask, but she has given me more great advice and instilled in me so much
1:41.2	crucial confidence that I have no idea how to ever repay her for what she's done for me. Though,
1:46.8	actually, she answers that in this episode. I won't spoil that for you, though. Katie reached out to
1:51.7	me a few weeks ago and shared her own big 2021 dream. She wants to write a book, and I was like,
1:58.0	yes, Katie, yes, this is what the world needs. This is what I need. Please write it as soon as
2:02.7	humanly possible. Is it done yet? How's it going? And she was like, okay, chill, but here's my starting
2:08.1	point. Katie shared with me a piece that she wrote about self-care. And before you think, uh,
