What my mother teaches me about radical self-care

My mother's life serves as a road map to my self-care and liberation.

During the pandemic, I left a job that I loved to pursue entrepreneurship. I was excited and looked forward to entering this new season in my life. What I didn’t know was that serving, loving and working over a decade in the nonprofit sector left me burned out- my body and spirit were not as ready as my mind for this new season. What was supposed to be a month-long break turned into a five month break.
