297. REAL Self-Care: Burnout Is Not Your Fault & the Way Out with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin

Psychiatrist Dr. Pooja Lakshmin shows us how to tell the difference between the Faux Self-Care we’ve been sold versus the Real Self-Care we desperately need.

Discover:

How to incorporate boundaries through the power of the pause and how to navigate the post-boundary ick with ease;
A simple tool to know whether you are being driven by your goals or driven by your values (and how to find and start living by your values today); and
Whether you might be in ‘martyr mode,’ and the key to getting out of it.
