For me, self-care is communal care. It means reaching out to others for support and supporting others.
A mantra that steers my life is “tend to the area of the garden you can reach.” If we only did that, if we only made sure that the people within our garden, within our reach, within our inner circle are ok, and made it a habit to lift others and in turn lift ourselves, then we can shift what it means to have community and lift everybody up.
– Shelly Tygielski
How do we balance caring for ourselves and caring for others? How can we prevent burn-out? What does it really mean to show up?
Find out the answers to these questions and more in this week’s episode of The Learn to Love Podcast, where your host Zach Beach interviews the mindfulness teacher and self-care activist Shelly Tygielski on Radical Self-Care.
