Summary

If you’ve ever looked around at a sink full of dishes or a pile of unfolded laundry and felt like you were drowning, you’re in good company. I know that feeling well. As a recovering perfectionist and all-or-nothing thinker, I used to struggle with self-compassion when it came to housework. But through therapy and learning from experts like KC Davis, I’ve discovered a new way to approach it—one that’s kinder, more sustainable, and rooted in self-care. If you can relate, you're going to love this conversation with KC where we talk about: 🧦 A new twist on the reason for housework (hint: it has a lot to do with self-care!) 🧦 Powerful affirmations to help you release guilt and embrace self-compassion about your messy house. 🧦 A brilliant idea for simplifying laundry! If housework feels overwhelming, I hope this episode offers the encouragement and practical help you need. You’re not alone in this, and I’m cheering you on!
