166. Courageous self-care, with Amber Wardell

166. Courageous self-care, with Amber Wardell

Many people have an unrealistic idea of self-care as bubble baths and expensive shopping sprees. These can be quick fixes, but they aren’t what truly nourishes us. My conversation with Amber Wardell explores what healthy self-care is all about, which includes confronting self-limiting behaviors and beliefs, challenging our inner demons, and pushing past our comfort zone.

Amber walks us through her own journey, confronting traditional beliefs about settling for what life gives, challenging the notion of reaching for the toxic, unhealthy “potato chips” that are offered by our quick-fix culture. And of course, we talk about how her pursuit of healthy self-care impacted her book-writing journey, including a few tips for aspiring authors.

Amber Wardell is a doctor of cognitive psychology and author of the upcoming book Self-Care Potato Chips: Choosing Nourishing Self-Care in a Quick-Fix Culture. She is also a contributor for Psychology Today where she writes about contemporary feminism, and runs a blog where she tackles topics related to marriage, motherhood, and mental health.
