Summary

We are tired, overwhelmed, and anxious. Burnout is real. But, why aren’t the bath bombs, essential oils and juice cleanses working? Dr. Pooja Lakshim joins Call Her Daddy to explain that REAL self care is an internal process, it’s not something you can buy, it’s a way to be. Pooja breaks down one of the core principles of real self care…boundaries. Alex and Pooja discuss why boundary setting is so difficult and how to move past feelings of guilt. They examine why society has conditioned women especially to feel guilty. Pooja provides tangible advice to implement in your life when it comes to setting boundaries. It’s time to stop overextending yourself and giving away your time for free, boundaries are a reflection of how willing you are to advocate for the life that you want.
