Pretend v. Real Self Care

Exhausted by trying to check "self-care" off your already overwhelming to-do list? You're not alone. In this episode of Becoming You Again, I’ll dive deep into the distinction between what most of us have been sold as ‘self-care’ and what actually nurtures our wholeness after divorce. Join me as I break down why these surface-level approaches are merely "pretend self-care" – temporary distractions that never address your deeper needs for support, boundaries, and reconnection with yourself. Real self-care isn't a noun (a product to buy) but a verb (actions that truly support you). It emerges from within rather than being prescribed from outside sources. Real self-care changes your relationship with yourself and your relationship with others on a fundamental level rather than leaving you feeling temporarily better but ultimately unfulfilled. In this episode you’ll learn: The key differences between pretend self-care (product-based) and real self-care (decision-based)How authentic self-care changes your relationships while pretend self-care leaves you feeling resentfulReconnecting with yourself by asking essential questions about your relationship with yourselfLearning to trust yourself again by developing intentional, individual support systemsIf this podcast resonated with you in any way, please take a minute to follow and give me a rating wherever you listen to podcasts.To schedule your complimentary consult with Karin click here.For more information and full show notes go to:https://www.karinnelsoncoaching.com/post/ep208To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.
