Ep 133: Self-care for Tough Times with Suzy Reading

May 27, 2021, 05:00 AM

Hi lovely,

It’s Selina here this week with a gorgeous and soothing conversation that is guaranteed to have you breathing a sigh of relief and calm, because I got to dive deep into conversation with the queen of self-care, Suzy Reading.

Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance. 
 
I have always loved her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution’ and now she has written another, equally powerful book: ‘Self-Care for Tough Times’. 
 
Reading it was like receiving a warm and soothing hug and talking with Suzy filled me with so much love and comfort and I hope hearing the conversation will do the same for you.
 
In this episode we talk about: 

  • Why so many of us can find ourselves resisting self-care (and what to do about it)
  • Why parents, particularly mothers, feel guilt around needing time to themselves away from the kids  
  • What self-care looks like during tough times (and why it can be different to self-care during normal times)
  • Our innate capacity to self soothe and heal when we go through tough times
  • Why we are both head over heals in love with managing your energy
  • The importance of going gently and tenderly with ourselves as we come out of lockdown
 
As always, if you loved this episode, please do let us know by leaving a 5 star rating wherever you listen to your podcasts.
