We absolutely have to be responsible for managing our own health, period. It’s obvious how no one will push us to slow down, not take on another task or say no. 

Instead, the demands around us will keep impeding on us, chipping away at an energy we may have reserved for ourselves.

We know you hear so much about self-care, probably too much. Our fear is that women will become numb to this reminder and begin to tune it out altogether. We absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, must move our own health needs to the top of the list. 

We polled over 1200 women in our amazing Facebook Community: Just Gen X Talking Business, Career + Life with Bold + Brave women about their self-care habits, feelings and practices. Today, we’re going to share their thoughts and ideas along with a few of our own.

Are you a part of our Facebook Community? If not, don’t wait! Meet other brave and bold Gen X ladies like you who are talking about all things business, career and life.

Join us at Just Gen X: Talking business, career + life with brave + bold women. 


In this episode you’ll learn: 

  • Why self care is especially hard for Gen X women
  • How self-talk can take you down 
  • Why processing and feeling your emotions is a big piece of taking care of yourself 
  • Some of the best selfcare tips shared by the terrific women in our Facebook Community 


What self-care isn't:

  • Reaching for the glass of wine (or three) every night
  • Binge eating
  • Shopping to. make yourself feel better
  • Keeping yourself busy so you don't feel what's really going on
  • Scrolling through social media every down second you have
