The Art of Self-Care: Conversations with Life Skills Coach Bethany Stone

Bethany Stone shares how her Swiss heritage shaped her resilience and approach to life, revealing the deeper meaning of self-care beyond surface-level indulgences. • Growing up in Idaho with Swiss parents who instilled strong cultural values and an entrepreneurial mindset • Learning resilience through competitive ballroom dancing, which taught discipline and perseverance through physical challenges  • Explaining how Swiss culture emphasizes quality, craftsmanship, and taking pride in creating excellent products • Contrasting the American "busyness as success" mindset with European approaches to grounded, slower living • Defining true burnout as functioning on autopilot while feeling constantly stressed and emotionally numb • Breaking down self-care into five essential areas: emotional, spiritual, physical, social, and intellectual • Developing a "Better Me List" of small daily improvements rather than seeking dramatic transformations • Creating a podcast focused on teaching life skills that are no longer being passed down through generations Find Bethany Stone at thrivingbynature.com, or on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook under "Bethany Stone" Have a question for Mista Yu?
