Self-Care Is Not Selfish: A Lifeline When You Love Someone with an Addiction
Today is International Self-Care Day, and we're talking about why self-care isn't selfish—it's essential, especially when you love someone with an addiction.
In this episode, I explore what self-care really means through the lens of positive psychology, happiness studies, and my HAPPY Framework. Together, we'll look at practical ways to care for your health, protect your energy, strengthen your relationships, reconnect with your purpose, and remember that your life matters too.
