Do you want to practice more self-love? Do you have a hard time prioritizing yourself and your needs? Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and women's wellness and relationship expert, describes how you can prioritize all your relationships this year and why self-love will always be the most important. She shares tips for showing up for yourself even when you're not feeling your best, where to look to find sources of love, and why women need to keep celebrating themselves in all stages of life. 

We discuss the different ways we can practice self-care, from journaling to partner workbooks, and how to find what works best for us. We also explore the idea that taking care of ourselves is our birthright and why it's important to make difficult choices when it comes to doing less. Finally, we discuss the importance of finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with and how that is the strongest predictor for success in therapy. Join us as we dive into these topics and more!
