About this episode

Brooke MacAlary is the author of the book ‘Care, the radical art of taking time.’ She wrote the book at the height of the pandemic out of necessity. When it comes to self-care there’s no golden face masks here. She focuses on how smaller, personal acts of care, can help us to feel nurtured, loving and grounded. We’ve got an example we can all try this weekend.
