First, be kind to yourself. Stop judging where you are—it’s okay to start small. Try a 5-minute meditation, or just take a deep breath. Every little step counts.

Simplify your life by letting go of what no longer serves you. That cluttered closet? That draining commitment? It’s time to release and breathe easier.

Boundaries are your BFF. Saying “no” doesn’t make you mean or selfish—it makes you smart and self-aware. Protect your time and energy like the queen you are!

Need support? Lean on your squad. Whether it’s a heart-to-heart with your bestie or calling in family reinforcements, remember, you don’t have to do it all alone.

And let’s not forget to do what brings us joy. Dancing, painting, gardening—whatever lights you up, make time for it!

For my tech-savvy sisters, tools like the Liven app can help you build self-awareness and manage burnout more effectively. It’s like having a self-care coach in your pocket!
