Being in community sometimes is like more uncomfortable before it becomes really

comfortable and supportive because we have to flex these muscles that we're not used to.

Facts do not have opinions.

Just don't let perfection be the enemy of good.

Self love is really about self-respect and acceptance.

Welcome to the whole view. I'm Stacey Toth of Real Everything.

I'm here each week to dive deeper into how we can find happiness and health inside and out

through self-love, body positivity, and discovering new ways to be our best selves.

This week listeners are excited to introduce you to Taylor Elise Morrison, who is the woman

making a self-care approachable instead of aspirational.

And not sure what she meant by that.

I did write internet stocking and really fell in love with her approach.

And I'm going to quote, I'm not vilifying the mainstream approach to self-care.

I'm saying it's incomplete. You can't buy your way out of burnout.

You can't treat yourself out of a lifestyle. That's unsustainable.

Doing more, even more wellnessy things won't necessarily make you feel less stressed.

And I really resonated with that, especially knowing, you know, with my corporate career

and then being an at home parent through virtual school and fostering like all those things made a lot of sense to me.

So I want to tell you a little bit more about Taylor and then I'm excited.
