Part 2 of the self-care theme where we welcome back our special guest, Dr. Jamie Lauren DSW, LCSW, as she shares why operating on "auto-pilot" and engaging in mind numbing behaviors keeps us from truly knowing what we need and the boundaries required to ensure we get what we need. By the end of this episode you’ll have tips on how and where to start your self-care journey. “A healthy self-love means we have no compulsion to justify to ourselves or others why we take vacations, why we sleep late, why we buy new shoes, why we spoil ourselves from time to time. We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life.” - Andrew Matthewsour
