Reimagine, Recalibrate and Renew Your Relationship with Care

I’m popping in for another solo episode. And I have a question for you. Do you ever feel like you’re failing at self-care?

I’m curious… because I feel like so many of us struggle to integrate self-care into our lives. And then we feel guilty or bad about ourselves because it becomes another item on the todo list that we didn’t get to…

Today, I want to explore why so many of us feel that way. And also offer some ideas on ways that we can begin to shift our perspective and relationship with care. To begin to reimagine, recalibrate and renew our relationship with care.

So that we can feel empowered to make our care a priority.

Máire P. Walsh: Becoming the Best Version of Myself

In this episode I talk to Máire P. Walsh. Máire is one of my wonderful cousins. She’s originally from Ireland but has been living and working in San Francisco for over 15 years. She now considers both home and is fortunate to work in a capacity that allows her to support Irish companies in Travel Technology while being based in SF.

Máire was quick to point out that she’s at the beginning of her Becoming Aligned Journey. I might argue with her a bit… I am family after all;-) Because I can see the process of becoming more aligned in how she approached her move to SF and how she became involved in the community there.

In particular, I appreciate that she was willing to share and be open about her experiences managing grief and her feelings around that. We talk about how this experience has drastically shifted her perspective and learn how she’s staying focused on what’s truly important and taking care of herself in the process.

We also discuss her process of becoming aligned as a journey of unlearning, learning, integrating with self care and taking action.
