Dr. Samantha McLeod: Self-Care Psychology — Prioritizing Well-being | Self-Improvement Atlas #77

Self-care is a term that’s been trending everywhere from the early stages of social media, but what does it truly mean? Beyond the aesthetically pleasing Instagram posts of bubble baths and scented candles lies the psychology explored in this episode of Self-Improvement Atlas.

Joining our host Marie Stella is clinical health psychologist Dr. Samantha McLeod, who’s been running her own wellbeing center since 2009, which aims to help others live with vitality as their potential becomes reality, through individual and group-based programs.

In this episode, Dr. Samantha McLeod shares the benefits of self-care and how to implement genuine self care instead of simply following the trends. While self-care is often seen as a buzzword, looking after oneself properly is a must for improving one’s mental health.

Together, Marie and Dr. Samantha McLeod discuss how people can center self-care, instead of viewing it as just another item on the to-do list, and one that often gets ignored. They share practices that people can implement in their day to day lives to ensure self care is prioritized despite a busy work schedule. 
Whether you're seeking to re-center self-care in your life, or to simply learn about its many benefits, tune in to this episode today!
