Lately I’ve been turning on a video game instead of writing another email or filming another social media post.

You could say video games are my guilty pleasure, but I don’t believe in that term anymore…

Because I’m choosing to not feel guilty about meeting my needs.

Especially right now, when I’m still processing the election results and what it all means for me and my family.

If you’ve struggled with feeling guilt or shame about how you’re choosing to support yourself right now, please watch this interview I did recently with Saju Vaswani (my mother-in-law!) for her Quest for Peace Podcast.

We talk about some amazingly rich topics that I think are essential right now, including why taking care of yourself can make you feel guilty — and what you can do to move past that (this starts at the 32 minute mark).

Watch our conversation on YouTube, or listen on Spotify.
