The Grow Your Private Practice author and podcast host, Jane Travis, shares her ideal and actual daily self care practices (and we chat about how much we dislike the term self-care even though it's essential).
Which of Jane's favourite ideal and actual elements are your favourites?
a) being kissed awake by a handsome man (woman / non binary person)?
b) luxuriating in a skincare routine that helps your skin?
c) setting boundaries with yourself (around time) as well as with others?
d) prioritising relaxation, beauty and pleasure?
Let us know in the comments :)

WHO AM I?
I'm your producer and host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing (Pen & Sword, 2017), freelance journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I'm also an online trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self. Past Chair of BACP Coaching, I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net).
I started The Feel Better Every Day Podcast in 2023 because I realised that even with the focus of my work being self and Self care (for 20 years now!), I often struggle.
And so do so many of my colleagues. We're all human! So I interviewed several of them including neuroscientists, authors writing about health and wellbeing, fitness professionals, therapists, coaches, energy workers and medical professionals.
We ALL have gaps and even gulfs between what we would LOVE to be doing for ourselves each day and what we actually do.
My hope with each episode is that you'll go easier on yourself and do something rather than nothing from your own ideal self or Self care repertoire.
Create a life you don't need to retreat from! Let me know how you get on! I really love hearing from y'all.
