Loving ourselves often falls at the bottom of our list...if it even makes it on our list at all. In our conversation with Julie Gentile, we learn why self-care should only be at the top of our list, but how it helps us maximize everything else. Julie Gentile is an award-winning author, yoga instructor, and self-care advocate. Her books include 108 Yoga and Self-Care Practices for Busy Mamas and How to Stay Calm in the Chaos: An Everyday Self-Care Guide, which you’ll hear us talk about on the show today. She received the 2019 bronze medal in the Exercise/Fitness/Yoga category from IPPY Living Now Book Awards, which recognizes “books for better living” and authors “changing lives and changing the world,” and is a 2019 Book Excellence Awards Finalist in the Mind, Body, Spirit category for her book 108 Yoga and Self-Care Practices for Busy Mamas. She’s been featured in numerous media and has many published articles, and has been a guest on the Chicago Parent Masters in Parenting podcast and the Strong as Mothers podcast.
