This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who feels like they have to “earn” doing something nice for themselves. I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we deny ourselves basic pleasures—rest, new clothes, time to just chill—because we feel like we haven’t worked hard enough to deserve them. In this short solo episode, I’m sharing how that mindset shows up in my own life, especially as a mom, business owner, and partner. Make sure you tune in if you need a reminder (like I did) that you don’t have to justify taking care of yourself. You’re allowed to rest. You’re allowed to buy the damn clothes. You’re allowed to put yourself first.If you like this episode, here are some others you'll enjoy.Podcast: Do you take care of yourself? No, really?Podcast: Take your PTO!
