Summary: In today’s journal club, Sarah and Whitney discuss self-care — a timely topic as we near the end of the semester. We reflect on the importance of taking time for yourself, the consequences of commodified self-care, and how not to feel guilty when indulging in practices intended to relax and de-stress. Sarah and Whitney end by offering their strategies to check in with themselves and prioritize their own needs during one of the busiest times of the year. Click here to subscribe on iTunes!
