Mini Masterclass | Real Self Care with Krystal Praast

Join us as we kick off our monthly guest speaker series and hear from Krystal Praast, Founder of New Moon Mama. 

Self-care refers to the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health, well-being, and happiness. It involves a conscious effort to take care of one's physical, mental, and emotional needs. 

The self care practices that are marketed to us often don't scratch this itch. 

Oftentimes, self care feels like external pressure and riddled with shame and guilt. 

Shouldn't self care nourish us ... not add to our endless to-do lists? 

Can REAL self care really be achieved by bubble baths, bullet planners and retail therapy? Probably not.... Which brings us to FAUX self care.

Faux self-care refers to activities or behaviors that are often mistaken for self-care but do not actually contribute to genuine well-being or may even be detrimental in the long run. These practices might provide temporary relief or pleasure but fail to address the underlying needs and can sometimes exacerbate issues.

In this talk, we'll cover:

• How faux self care could be contributing to your burnout
• How the magic to real self care is tied to your values, boundaries and decision making
• An exercise to get clear on your values vs your goals
