Hi friends. Welcome to the Wavi-Sabi podcast. This is episode number 138. Don't you dare feel guilty for doing self-care. I think that is today's main tone for you. I've been feeling this so deeply the last few weeks, and I wanted to share with you some self-work and notes from my own therapist who is helping me through a little bit of a rough patch.

I know we often talk on this pod about how we can be better and do better, but I think it's important to note that we won't

budget and while the weather and the seasons are changing a bit.

So first things first, I think that the melancholy in the air with the weather getting a little bit

more ratchet is going to really start to affect a lot of us. So there's a thing called seasonal

effect disorder, S-A-D, no pun intended.

We had lots of rain over the last few months and there were a couple days in New York where we had

several days of rain in a row and the rain didn't stop and the sun never came out. And on top of this, I love doing cat rescue when the weather

is shit like this. Because in my heart, I know that there are hundreds, if not thousands of cats

and kittens out there that are going to die in these storms. So one thing I prioritize during the times where the weather is

really dark and just dreary is I know things will get better. And then I also try to plan
