Featured Guest: Sarri Gilman
Today’s guest is Sarri Gilman — renowned author, therapist, and returning favorite on the show. In this heart-centered conversation, we explore the deeper meaning of self-care—what it is, what it’s not, and why it’s essential, especially for women.
Sarri shares wisdom from her latest book Cocoon, including the concept of the “self-care wheel” and why basics like rest, movement, and nutrition are often the most powerful. We also talk about the guilt that can arise from putting yourself first, and how to set boundaries with grace and confidence. If you’re ready to take your self-care seriously—and finally let go of the shame around it—this episode is for you.
