There is thankfully a growing realization that effectiveness and self-care are linked and that investing in self-care can be massively improve productivity.

My business is a very physical activity because of the load in and load out of the markets. As a full-time reseller, I am often times outside in the hot sun for hours. All of this plus the consistency of having to break down my store at the market has empowered me toprioritize my self-care in ways that might seem trivial, but keep me grounded and capable. The most important thing that I do after a market for self-care is, I take an Epson salt bath! Prioritize my self-care in ways that might seem trivial, but keep me grounded and capable.  Read More>>

For me, self-care means doing what brings me joy—and one of the things I enjoy most is creating something from scratch and seeing it come to life. I engage in self-care every time I design and sew a peplum belt. I didn’t realize how deeply I enjoyed sewing and designing until the pandemic, when that passion was unexpectedly reignited.

For self-care, I try to spend as much time in nature as possible—it really helps me recharge and stay grounded. I’ve realized how essential that connection is for my energy and overall well-being.

When I’m not prepping for a movie or commercial, I make it a priority to spend quality time with family and friends. I also love relaxing through surfing or diving—being in the water is both calming and invigorating for me. Read More>>

For me, self-care starts with the basics—fresh air, regular exercise, and daily self-reflection. These simple yet powerful practices help me stay grounded. Taking time each day to step outside, move my body, and quietly check in with myself clears my mind and allows me to stay in tune with how I’m feeling, both mentally and physically. Read More>>

Jodi and I both are just as passionate about taking care of other bodies— as we do our own. By investing in our well-being , we know what it takes to keep the momentum and not give up on yourself or others. I know for myself, and speak for Jodi , we both have had to experience “breakdown” and “breakthrough” moments in our own body and own spiritual journey. Setting aside weekly appointments for ourselves , where we receive and give—tending to our own needs in the form of bodywork, cleansing our body frequently , and activities that assist in releasing and transmuting our dis-ease.  Read More>>

For me, self-care often means spending time in nature, especially by the beach. Whether I’m listening to the waves, reading a book, or walking along the shoreline, it’s easy to unplug and let the noise of everyday life fade away. There’s something grounding about feeling the wind, tuning in to the sounds around me, and simply being present. These quiet moments have taught me to slow down and appreciate the little things. That shift in perspective has deeply impacted my creativity, helping me think more clearly and connect more intentionally with my work. Read More>>

This is a great question! Self-care is a priority. Currently, I make sure I run somewhere between 6 and 10 miles a week. Admittedly, when I’m performing live 5 or times a week, my poor little feet cry for mercy and running isn’t an option.

On those weeks, I make sure I’m doing at least 100 reps of unweighted squats and sit ups each. That way I remain active without hurting myself. Making the commitment to exercise has made it so that I must make other healthy choices, such as getting enough sleep, for a decent performance during the run.  Read More>>

Takeda Rodriguez

For many years, I was constantly pouring into everyone and everything around me — as a mother, a wife, an educator, a friend. I wore many hats, gave my time and energy freely, and rarely stopped to check in with myself. Eventually, I realized something was off. I was drained. I was showing up for everyone else, but not for me. I was neglecting not just what I wanted to do, but how I wanted to live. Read More>>
