About this listen
Emily and Essence are back for Episode Four of Talking Shoppe! After “Work wife, Work Nemesis, and Work Overlord” segment, they unpack the concept of self-care as well as the misconceptions of self-care. They discuss how hormone fluctuations can affect productivity and emotion regulation, critique workplaces offering “self-care” when people are already at a breaking point, and distinguish proactive self-care from reactive coping. They compare their different self-care frameworks, including neurodivergent prioritization, internal monologue differences, access and routines, and how chronic illness changes capacity. They close with their weekly R.E.P.O.R.T segment.
