Friends! We Have come to the end of another season. How has it gone by so quickly? (Panic you not! We are already planning for season 3!)

We have thoroughly enjoyed coming over the fence with you as we have looked at self-care. Our hope is that it is a less puzzling  and less daunting concept as we have talked about it and learned from each other. 

It is our greatest hope that your journey will continue and self care will cease to be a tick box exercised  but that the incremental small but crucial changes will mean that you are looking after yourselves that bit better and enabling yourselves to show up in all the spheres of your life, much more resilient and supported.

In this episode, seeing as it is the season finale, Sarah and Vangeya thought it would be a good idea to have a bit of a self-care check in.  To explore the areas where we still struggle, the wins that they have collected over the season, as well as the big takeaways. 

So we leave you with the biggest takeaway and what has been dubbed our manifesto: self care ( and life really) is all about self compassion. Figure out who you are and what works for you, and implement it, as often as you need to and remember- practice makes better!

We look forward to continuing the journey with you in season three, but until then  Keep looking after yourselves and keep in touch:
