Episode 342: On Self-Care Isn’t Selfish—It’s Survival

This week on DCO Discourse, podcast host Christina Droumtsekas, is speaking about reimagining self-care—not as bubble baths or luxury escapes, but as everyday survival. Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s maintenance, nourishment, and coming home to yourself in a world that constantly pulls you away. Whether you’re burnt out, grieving, caregiving—or just tired of “doing it all”—this episode is your reminder that small moments count. Tune in as we unpack what self-care really looks like, what gets in the way, and how to make space for yourself without guilt or shame.
