Sophia delves into the foundational aspects of self-care, starting with physical health, discussing the critical roles of sleep, nutrition, movement, and preventative care in maintaining overall well-being.

The episode further discusses the art of unwinding and the necessity of intentional relaxation for restoring both physical and mental energy. It touches on the value of 'micro-breaks' throughout the day and the benefits of digital detoxes in reducing mental fatigue and improving focus.

Learning to say 'no' and setting healthy boundaries are also highlighted as crucial skills for protecting one's time, energy, and mental space, thereby preventing burnout and fostering self-respect.

The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating self-care into daily life through small, consistent steps, rather than attempting an immediate, overwhelming overhaul.
