How to Prioritize Self-Care Without the Guilt with Kelley Grimes

If you tend to spend all your time (and energy) taking care of everyone and everything else, while putting your own self-care on the back burner, join the club!

In this episode, I speak with Kelley Grimes, MSW, counselor, self-nurturing expert, and bestselling author, about how to nurture and care for ourselves, without feeling guilty or selfish.

Kelley shares her journey from being a professional caregiver and devoted mom who constantly put everyone else first, to hitting burnout and learning the power of prioritizing her own well-being and joy.

She shares practical steps and mindset shifts to weave simple, joyful self-care into our everyday lives….Guilt-free. 

Key Takeaways:

Self-nurturing doesn’t mean you’re choosing yourself over others.

Start small. Tiny acts of self-compassion can build real momentum and ease guilt.

Reframe your inner dialogue and focus on progress not perfection.

"The gift of self nurturing is that we know ourselves more. We can express more of what's in ourselves. Our creativity, our authenticity, all of those beautiful parts that are our unique gifts to the world and that keeps evolving." - Kelley Grimes
