Burning out is one of the primary risks you face as you work towards your goals and so focusing on self-care as a way to minimize the impact of burnout is one of the best investments you can make.

Self Care is something that I am honestly just now romanticizing. You see it and hear it all over social media… living the “soft life” however, I learned that true self care starts with regulating your nervous system. I took that route and feel better than I ever had.. in my entire life. I take my supplements, specifically Collagen and Vitamin D to name a few. I also became a gym girly– lifting weights 5 to help 6 times a week. I got into the hang of that… and now I am buckling down on my nutrition too. It’s hard but it’s so effective on not only my body but my mind. Internally, I am starting to feel safe within my own skin. Read More>>

Taken time for myself, away from work is super important because I am never really off the clock between photoshoots, editing, doing admin and social media. My favorite things to do is spend time outdoors, especially time riding my horses. Its the best stress reliever and helps me get my mind off work for a period of time and helps me reset.

For me, self-care is non-negotiable. I carve out time every single day for some kind of movement—whether it’s mountain biking, golfing, or just a long walk outside to clear my head. The biggest impact has been clarity—I make sharper decisions, communicate better with my team, and no longer feel like I’m operating from a place of burnout. It’s amazing how much stronger your work can be when you’re taking care of yourself first. Read More>>

For me, self-care is about creating balance between the energy I give to others and the energy I restore for myself. I spend time in my garden, growing the ingredients I cook with — it’s grounding and reminds me of the full circle of food and nourishment. I also make time for meditation, journaling, and being outdoors, whether it’s running, hiking, or simply walking in nature. These practices keep me centered and clear-minded.  Read More>>

For self-care, I love listening to music, playing the piano, attending concerts, singing, dancing, arranging and writing music. I also like physical fitness and playing volleyball. Ensuring that I have this balance has a positive impact in my professional and personal relationships. Read More>>

We have learned to self-care daily through prayer, meditation, and quiet time.
We aim to spend time with undisclosed, weekly date nights.
As part of our own self-care regimen, we participate in wellness activities such as a couples massage, ionic foot detox, hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy, infrared sauna, touch of light, ondamed and compression. Read More>>

As someone leading a nonprofit, self-care is essential—not optional. I prioritize movement and mindfulness. Whether it’s a workout at the gym, walking outside, or just taking 10 minutes to breathe and reset, I’ve learned that I’m a better leader when I take care of myself first. It helps me stay focused, patient, and grounded, especially when navigating challenges. Making space for my own wellness ultimately allows me to show up more fully and effectively for my team and the community we serve. Read More>>

Throughout these last few years, especially, I’ve made an intentional effort to include more self-care in my everyday life, and the impacts have been incredible. I used to think of self-care as selfish and would limit it to my worst days only, and I’m grateful to have realized how necessary it is and how diverse it can be. On my better days, some of my favorite self-care activities include geocaching, mixing mini-sets, writing, and spending time with my loved ones (especially my cats (: ).  Read More>>

This is a great question you can ask me because I consistently advocate for self-care and self love.
For self-care, I intentionally do things that put a genuine smile on my face and allow me to recharge mentally, emotionally, and physically. That includes getting massages, scheduling wax appointments, taking walks, working out, and sometimes simply lying down and doing absolutely nothing—giving myself permission to rest without guilt. I also love getting my hair done, but interestingly, I don’t consider doing my own hair self-care since I do it professionally for others every day. For me, self-care means allowing someone else to pamper me, so every now and then I schedule a professional hair appointment for myself. Read More>>

Before having kids, self-care for me looked like regular workouts, solo trips, therapy, float therapy, and journaling. I was consistent and intentional because I had the time, the resources, and fewer responsibilities. But now, as a mom of twins, self-care looks very different. Time and money are real constraints, so I’ve had to redefine what care looks like in this season. Read More>>

I love to work and be productive each and every day, but on certain days, I get a gut feeling of knowing when you take a break. Having the discipline and self-awareness for yourself help avoid burnout. Simple methods I use for self-care is screen time in bed, sleeping, showering, and having all my favorite meals! It impacts me because I wake up the next day feeling as refreshed as ever!! Read More>>
