About this listen
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Imagine your perfect day.
What if that perfect day was every day?
You're probably doing a lot - taking care of your family, killing it at your job, volunteering, organizing, scheduling, delegating. At the end of all of that, do you have any time or energy left to take care of the most important person: you?
Self-care movement leader Suzanne Falter gets it. In fact, she lived the life that every woman today feels expected to lead, chasing career goals while balancing the commitment of raising a family. But after facing an unthinkable tragedy, Suzanne transformed her identity as a stressed-out workaholic to find her way back to wholeness and balance. In The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care, Suzanne shares simple, bite-sized suggestions to help you ease onto the path of effective self-care in a way that feels doable rather than demanding.
The road to soothing self-care is right in front of you - all you have to do is say yes to the journey and take the first step.

This is a book for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in", time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this book embraces the notion that through doing less women can have - and be - more.

Story
Self-care is everywhere - but sound bites on this trendy subject tend to focus more on face masks and bubble baths than on its key objective: mental health. Formerly at BuzzFeed, Borges helped popularize the self-care movement in the first place, and her book distills the “self-care internet” into an A to Z list with over two hundred entries - from soul-searching prompts to simple pick-me-ups. Listeners can tailor their own routines by choosing among Borges’s strategies, which cover four distinctive realms of self-care: physical, mental, social, and spiritual.

Words I Needed
I’ve had this book for several months but just wouldn’t make the time to read it. Today I bought the audiobook and listened while working on a cross stitch project. I certainly needed to hear the ideas in this book because I am horrible at making time for myself. I was feeling guilty for working on a craft project when I started the book! Definitely the book I needed at this time in my life.

Worth the read!
I was hesitant before buying this book, as I thought I knew all about self care and its importance after years of therapy. I’m so happy I finally gave this book a listen, because I found I knew almost nothing about self care. This is changing my life already. Listening to Suzanne talk is like listening to a wise friend who is giving you amazing, supportive and nonjudgmental advice. As a mom to 3 small kids, I have neglected my own needs because I didn’t have time for them. From now on, things will be different. I’ve already recommended this book to my friends.
