Hey there! I open up this episode with a tea talk (grape-a\xe7ai tea in a book store mug) and a life update about therapy, lockdown, school, and birthdays. I introduce this week\u2019s topic through a story, questions, and the structure for the episode. Next, I navigate the different phases of my life concerning self care. Afterward, I explain why I disagree with how self care is portrayed in the media: the pressure, the \u201cright way\u201d, and the unrealistic expectations. Then, I look at the future and brainstorm how I would like to realistically take care of myself. I wrap up with a few takeaways, share my favourites in apps, books, and home decor, and read a touching review from Klaudia before signing off.\n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO: 11:38\n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nFollow my TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJwKjr2L/ \nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nT\xe9 La Teresita: https://www.tiendalateresita.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwse-DBhC7ARIsAI8YcWISE_6Zc6imdA-qEDshLdbjzdx1uYxYbK-LMMPrSdERrSNuN7JtTDwaAgwqEALw_wcB\nListen to my episode on why everybody should go to therapy (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/0BNZtjfTVYcodal1AXk4d5?si=4eo_xGUyQ2-sP4ASOHFXcw\nCheck out @breakthebeautymold on Instagram: https://instagram.com/breakthebeautymold?igshid=f74r6zgfgq8x\nListen to my interview with the co-founder of BTBM (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/5E2hR0qtOv7ryhe3BZjQ56?si=E_yMLtvqTe6jB7Z_3YrSDQ\nThe Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde\n\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n13:55 = \u201cLife comes in seasons\u201d\n23:55 = \u201cNot being able to do everything in a day leaves me with a sense of guilt\u201d\n25:55 = \u201cSocial media is bombarding us with the \u201cright way\u201d to do things\u201d\n27:00 = \u201cThere\u2019s so much pressure on making your platforms useful\u201d\n27:15 = \u201cThere has never been this one way to do things, but on social media, just contributes to trying to make that happen\u201d \n27:50 = \u201cIt\u2019s so easy for people to mistake that self care is synonymous to mental stability, because it\u2019s a tangible act you can do\u201d\n29:10 = \u201cNo amount of skincare is going to fix the relationship you have with yourself\u201d\n30:00 = \u201cThinking you need to accomplish all these self care activities daily leads to shame when you don\u2019t achieve it\u201d\n30:55 = \u201cSelf care routines don\u2019t need to be as long as people are portraying them\u201d\n31:55 = \u201cI can take care of myself without investing so many hour every week\u201d\n32:20 = \u201cIt wasn\u2019t me missing the activity, it was me feeling like I had to miss the activity\u201d\n34:40 = \u201cI refuse to believe that we need to do all of these superficial things to feel good with myself\u201d\n36:20 = \u201cI wasn\u2019t concerned about writing within itself, I was concerned about all the pressure the media was placing on me to take care of myself\u201d\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
