Permission To Thrive with Suzi Lula

Show Notes

Most of us were taught that self-care is something you schedule: a bath, a massage, a glass of wine. But if you're doing all the "right" things and still feel anxious, depleted, and behind, self-care isn't the problem. It's not deep enough.

In this episode, Suzi Lula walks through why self-care can become just one more thing to feel guilty about, and introduces Soul Care: a nervous-system-level identity shift built around four pillars: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. She closes with a full guided process so you can experience the shift, not just hear about it.
