Book Review: Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness

11/06/23 • 7 min

Welcome to today's episode of the Project Mom podcast. I want to do a special episode today highlighting a book that I just read. It's called Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble Baths Not Included). The book was written by Dr. Pooja Lakshmin and in this book, she shares her own personal journey and those of her clients as she outlines for us this very real need for self-care, especially as women who are faced with systemic challenges that are made to keep us small and at the service of others. Throughout the book, she focuses on the fact that real self-care has to originate within, and is ultimately an ongoing internal decision-making process that we need to use every single day in order for our needs to be met. This book has given me hope, and I think it will do the same for you, too!
