Hi there, I’m Jennifer Antkowiak, It’s time to take care of YOU! And every week, on the Take Care Tips podcast I will inspire you to do just that.   The Take Care Tips podcast will bring you real-life, self-care strategies that you can use to take care of yourself while you’re taking care of others.  Many of us care for others to the point that we end up putting our own health and well-being on the back burner.  Little by little, we lose ourselves, and end up feeling exhausted, frustrated, and stressed.  Through my own journey as a family caregiver, and mom of five – turned self-care coach and wellness advocate, I’ve learned that it’s possible to feel stronger, happier, and healthier again.  You might feel like there are many barriers to self-care---but we’ll work on busting through them. Guess what --- You do have enough time, it doesn’t cost too much, and you don’t have to feel guilty!  When you start carving out even a little bit of time for yourself, great things happen.Your energy will go up.  You will be more positive.  You will be more passionate.  And...you will have the power you need to care for all those you love, and live up to your fullest potential.  Subscribe to the Take Care Tips podcast so that you’ll be notified when each new episode drops. Hope is here! Let’s take care of you!  

As we navigate through the week between Christmas and New Year's, let's look at one of the best things that we can do to decompress and set the stage for a happy and healthy New Year.
