The overlooked, underappreciated, and often misguided practice and application of self-care. The Bossy Bees are talking about what self-care really involves. Hint, Hint… it doesn’t involve a Mani or Pedi. We are talking about our own journeys and where we’ve been misled and how some artificial practices cause more harm than good.
Self-care is critical to sustaining long-term momentum to achieve your goals. We believe that you cannot wholly commit to objectives until you begin your own journey of self-love. Everyone’s journey is unique! As a result, our application looks and feels different, whether you tap into this through silent meditation or songs of your faith. It’s important to understand that this journey is about is caring for your soul, and not achieved through superficial means such as a short stint at the hair salon.
