When we look at it- as I think a lot of us kind of look at it sometimes as being selfish, when it's actually the opposite, it's being selfless and, I think, when it comes to being a giver in order for us to have long-term results, long-term effectiveness in the field serving and supporting people, it's kind of like prepping for going into, we'll say, a soccer game or a lacrosse game, strategies involved.
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant need to help others? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Goodness Chick', host Erin Lawler Patterson sits down with Lauri Kuosmanen, a founder of the European Conference on Mental Health, to discuss the vital topic of self-care for those in caregiving roles.

Erin and Lauri dive into why it's crucial for helpers to recharge and maintain balance in their lives. They explore the unique challenges faced by those who are always putting others first and how social media can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy or burnout. The conversation is rich with practical strategies for self-care, emphasizing that taking time for oneself is not an act of selfishness but a necessary step to continue serving others effectively.
They also touch on the importance of human connection and collaboration in making the journey less daunting. Lauri shares insights from his extensive experience in mental health, offering listeners actionable tips to integrate self-care into their daily routines. Whether it's setting boundaries, finding moments of solitude, or simply acknowledging the need for a break, this episode provides a supportive space for helpers to reflect on their own well-being.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in a caregiving role who feels the weight of their responsibilities. It's a reminder that self-love and self-care are integral to sustaining the energy and compassion needed to help others. Tune in and discover how you can better balance your own needs while continuing to support those around you.
