We’re HUGE fans of self-care here at Dear Media. It can make a huge difference when it comes to your physical and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with what self-care really means. It’s sooo much more than just taking a long bath, going to the spa, or reading a good book.
Listening to podcasts is not only a great way to practice self-care but also learn more about self-care. There are plenty of podcasts that can help enlighten your mind about what self-care really is. Rather than leaving you to search through the millions of available podcasts to find them, we did the work for you!! Today, we’re sharing a round-up of the best Dear Media podcasts that focus on self-care. Let’s get into it!
