Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and her guest, Kim Acedo, talk about how to practice great self care. Kim is a midlife wellness women’s coach whose passion to help women in midlife motivated her to shift her focus from personal training to helping women transform from the inside out. One of the greatest areas of opportunity for the women she coaches is the area of self care. Kim realized that many women spent their time setting aside their own wants and needs to meet the wants and needs of those around them, in the process they were tired, unfulfilled, and frustrated. With that in mind, Kim developed a mission to help women begin to transform their lives through the practice of great self care starting with small acts of self care. One of her mantras is that midlife is a stage not an age and that self care is cumulative, it isn’t necessary to make it a big or expensive production. So if you find yourself forgetting to take good care of you, stop what you’re doing, grab a cuppa something wonderful and listen in to learn strategies to get you on the path to practicing great self care. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode113/
