Happy Self-Care Saturday!
Let’s talk about something that’s been coming up a lot lately — maybe for you, or maybe for someone you love:
The guilt of not “doing” self-care right.
The guilt of skipping the workout.
The guilt of canceling therapy.
The guilt of knowing what you should do, but not having the time, energy, or bandwidth to actually do it.
Sound familiar?
Here’s the truth we don’t talk about enough:
Self-care isn’t always as simple as lighting a candle, taking a bath, or going for a walk.
Sometimes self-care feels downright impossible when you’re:
- Working long hours
- Managing family or caregiving responsibilities
- Dealing with financial stress
- Feeling emotionally stretched or simply exhausted
And yet… the world still tells you:
“Just take better care of yourself.”
“You need stronger boundaries.”
“You have to make time for rest.”
So when you don’t, or can’t, the guilt creeps in.
You start to feel like you’re failing at self-care — like something must be wrong with you.
But here’s the radical truth:
You are not failing self-care. Self-care is failing to meet you where you are.
Self-care isn’t a performance. It’s not a checklist.
It’s not about doing more, better, faster.
It’s about finding small, doable, honest ways to come back to yourself — even in the chaos.
That’s exactly why I created the 21-Day Self-Care Challenge.
To take away the guilt and overwhelm… and guide you gently back to yourself.
– You don’t need hours a day.
– You don’t need to do it perfectly.
– You just need a small, meaningful start.
Over 21 days, I’ll show you how to practice real-life, realistic self-care — the kind that works with your busy life, not against it.
If your soul whispered “yes” while reading this, I’d love to have you join me.

We start July 1st.
Let this be your reminder:
You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re not failing.
You’re just human — and you deserve care too.
With warmth and zero guilt,
Erica
