Summary

Dr. Jenn Hardy Affordable Self-Care Therapy OCD Depression Panic BFRB Eating Disorder Mindfulness Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast host Kimberley Quinlan

This week’s episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit Podcast will really change the way you look at and relate to Self-care. In this episode, we aren’t talking about luxurious, expensive and unsustainable self-care. We are talking about affordable self-care. And, we are talking about self-care that costs NOTHING! If you struggle with self-care, this is the episode for you. If you struggle to even be aware of when you need self-care, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we talk with Psychologist Dr. Jenn Hardy about how marketing and media have made self-care into something that should look perfect, cost a lot of money and be luxurious. Dr. Jenn Hardy brings up the wonderful point that a self-care plan that is expensive and indulgent is not sustainable and won’t fit into most people’s daily lives. Dr. Jenn Hardy addresses a concept she coined, affordable self-care, which is taking care of your basic needs and making time each day to give your body and mind what it needs.

Here are a few examples of affordable self-care that you can include into your life in simple and easy ways.

Going pee when you need to pee
Journaling
Slowing down
Taking a breath between activities
Honoring what your body needs
Saying no to things

The thing I love the most about this episode is that we learn just how accessible affordable self-care is. We all have access to affordable self-care, no matter what your income is, where you live and what you do for a living.

Before we go, I want to share a virtual conference with you that I will be speaking at (from August 5th-15th): Share Triumph Cancer Conference. I will be speaking at this free, virtual event in which women share how they made decisions about medical treatment and discuss how the emotional effects of diagnosis impact them today. Specifically, I will be talking about managing anxiety related to physical illness and cancer. This event brings together renowned doctors, therapists, nonprofits, fashion brands, comedians, podcasters, survivors and metavivors teaching you how to get through diagnosis, treatment and the aftermath to help keep your mind and spirit intact!

0:12.0	I'm your host, Kimberly Quinlan.
0:14.0	This podcast is fueled by three main goals.
0:17.0	The first goal is to provide you with some extra tools to help you manage your anxiety.

1:20.9	an incredible guest talking about a really important and very interesting topic.
1:28.5	I think you might find this episode to be quite enlightening and quite relieving
1:33.9	because I left feeling quite relieved and lighter at the end of the recording.
1:39.2	So here we go.
1:40.6	This is from Aubrey.
1:43.1	And Aubrey messaged me on Instagram to tell me her hard thing she has been doing and I loved it.
