In this episode I talk to women’s coach and podcaster Kat Horrocks. Kat’s self-described superpower is self-care and in her coaching practice she supports women in putting themselves first. In this episode we dive deep (like, really deep) into what self-care actually means and why it’s important.
You can find out more about Kat and her work here.

- The practicalities of self-care
