There’s a lot of pressure to start over at the beginning of a new year. Days after “Quitter’s Day,” I’m sitting down with self-care expert and the newest addition to the Start Today family, Yasmine Cheyenne. We’re talking about everything from how to meet yourself with grace during moments of transition and embracing the good in your routine to how to “break the matrix” and how to answer the question “what’s best for me?” Without shame or guilt.
