Ever wonder if that nightly glass of wine or social media scroll is really self-care, or something more sinister? Lindsey and Laken give you the real talk in today's episode, exposing how we often confuse self-sabotage with self-nurturing and why it matters for your long-term health.

Today you'll learn 

  • Why the distinction is crucial
  • All mabout the common "time" and "money" myths women use to justify skipping health-supporting behaviors. 
  • And the neuroscience, we explain why self-sabotaging behaviors trigger short-lived dopamine rushes while genuine self-care activates serotonin and oxytocin
  • Practical ways to integrate healthy self-care habits into your day


Most powerfully, the ladies discuss how authentic self-care builds trust with your future self. Each time you choose nourishment over numbing, you're telling yourself: "I see you, I value you, and I'm committed to your wellbeing." This mindset shift transforms self-care from obligation to opportunity.
