I'm a Self Care Coach and I Always Use This Self Care Tip

I just got back from the east coast and am still recovering from the cross country flight with two young children.

Now, knowing it might be a hard transition coming home, I decided to implement one of my favorite self care tips I use in my practice as a self care coach: BUILD IN BUFFER TIME.

I intentionally structured my schedule such that I had very few obligations this weekend (other than keeping my children fed and relatively content.)

One of My Key Self Care Tips is to Build Buffer Time Into Your Schedule.

This is my version of self-care, post travel. Or, more accurately, post anything that takes a lot of energy.

After a big presentation, after a work trip, after solo parenting, after a holiday party, after any sort of transition, I make sure to enter slowly. I don't over commit. I leave LOTS of space for me to take it easy and move at a slower pace rather than slamming into the next thing after having just put so much out.

Learning How to Practice Self Care is About Learning to Protect Our Energy.

Why so much buffer time, you ask? Because, self care tips are ultimately about energy and time. How we use it, how we replenish it and how we protect it so that were aren't forever drained as we run from one life task to the next.

Discover How to Practice Self Care With Me by Joining My Upcoming Coaching Program, Homecoming.

I also wanted to take this weekend to get ready for something I'm very excited about.

Today I've opened early bird enrollment for my group coaching program Homecoming! Early bird enrollment means everyone who signs up for Homecoming between August 15th and September 15th will receive $500 off.

I run Homecoming once a year in the Fall as a way for busy, big-dreaming, high-achieving women to find center, connection and community during some of the most frantic and isolating months of the year. It’s a great opportunity to learn how to practice self care.

Homecoming is an Opportunity to Learn How to Practice Self Care From a Self Care Coach

There’s no doubt you’ll learn to take better care of yourself during Homecoming, but Homecoming goes far beyond your standard self care tips.

Homecoming is for women looking to:

• Move away from perfectionism and performing

• Be braver in their relationships and at work

• Be cracked open in the best possible way

• Follow the work that they love

• Trust themselves above all outside noise

• Stop doing "the work" alone

• Have a committed, weekly space for real talk

• Find inspiration, love and support in a intimate circle

• Sit at the center of their own lives rather than being a bystander to it

If any of this sounds like you, considering joining Homecoming. Simply click HERE to set up a discovery call and we'll talk to see if Homecoming is right for you.

Honestly, Homecoming is one of my most favorite things and I'm so excited and honored to share it with you.
