Self-Care is a Joke (That We Need to Take Seriously)

For so many of us, the idea of self-care is a joke. And for good reason. There are literally not enough hours in the day to do what's "required" of us, let alone take a break to focus on ourselves.

The Odyssey: Parenting. Caregiving. Disability.
