Rethinking Self-Care

Hey, it’s your girl, Phi! In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by the amazing Leticia Osei—a psychotherapist, registered nurse, and youth and mental health coordinator in our Black community. Together, we get deep into one of my favorite topics: self-care. We talk about its true meaning, why it’s essential, and how to practice it even when life feels overwhelming. From setting boundaries to advocating for yourself, this conversation is all about putting yourself on your priority list unapologetically.

Leticia and I share personal stories, actionable tips, and candid reflections on why self-care goes beyond the superficial. If you’ve been wondering how to balance life’s demands without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.
