In this episode of Choose to Become, Lindsey explores what self-care really looks like after surviving burnout and operating in survival mode for too long. She reflects on her journey of slowing down, confronting guilt, and learning to receive care as a form of healing.
Together, we unpack the mental and emotional toll of constantly doing, the pressure to prove our worth, and the importance of rest, joy, and nervous system repair. This episode is a loving reminder that self-care isn’t indulgent—it’s necessary. And you don’t have to earn it.
