#138: The Number 1 Reason Why Your Self-...

Gloria Zhang, MA
About this episode

"The ego has put on a disguise of self-care and tricking us into thinking that we're doing the right things when really, we're doing the exact same pattern of avoiding feeling our emotions."

Do you do a lot of "self-care" but never really feel better?

Bestie, if you're someone who listens to a bunch of podcasts, reads a lot of self-care books, do bubble baths, spa, or even entertain yourself with a coloring book just to feel "better," then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'll tell you why sometimes your self-care is actually making you feel worse. Maybe it's not in the act of self-care itself, but rather, something that you might be avoiding, distracting yourself with and burying underneath with all these self-care activities.Ā
