Selfie Podcast Kristen Howerton Roo Powell

Let’s talk self-care. Kristen Howerton, writer and psychotherapist, is joined by friends (therapists and friends who have been in therapy) as they tackle the tricky and often elusive aspects of caring for ourselves. Their weekly conversations explore questions like: Can self-care be for everyone? How do I get enough sleep? What aspects of my personality make self-care tricky? And what’s in this face mask? From the silly to the serious, Kristen and friends are taking a vulnerable and often humorous look at body, mind and spirit . . . all while looking at the distractions and defenses that keep us from caring for ourselves like we should.
