You\u2019re a dedicated professional focused on solving the world’s problems & helping others. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be an academic, lawyer, health care worker, or counsellor. You want to change people’s lives and<\/em> live a meaningful, balanced life. You give a lot, but you’re also trying to find time to look after YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You think work-life balance might exist, and you want to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know you “should” do self-care but it just feels like yet another thing you can\u2019t find time for. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Or maybe you find the time\u2026 but afterwards<\/g> you don\u2019t feel replenished, energized, or fulfilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what GIVES?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is\u2026 the way we\u2019ve been taught self-care is all wrong! <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need is a new way to approach self-care and a community of like-minded people to help you get there. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is self care, anyway?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Self-care\u2026 that means eating vegetables and finally finding time for the gym right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-care doesn\u2019t mean doing a long list of activities someone else told you to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your self-care needs to be tailored to YOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means finding time to do whatever helps you replenish your personal and professional self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means figuring out what works for YOU and your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we promise we won\u2019t tell you to eat more vegetables – unless you want to!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re Jorden and Jess. We\u2019re clinical psychologists working in academia (Jorden) and private practice (Jess). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years we\u2019ve researched self-care practices for academics & health professionals. Now we’re leaving the lab and bringing it to you. We want to help you look after yourself, love you<\/g>r career, and change the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    What’s different about our approach?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We’re not going to tell you what to do. We won’t even say the words “sleep hygiene.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We’ll help you figure out how YOU want to look after you (even if you decide you want to learn about sleep hygiene). We know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to self-care, and research supports that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our favourite thing about this work is when clients realize that they’ve been sold a false bill of goods: You don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to be successful. We want you to realize this too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We focus on concrete actions, even when you don’t “feel like” doing self-care. We don’t rely on motivation and we certainly won’t make you feel bad if self-care is hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We’ll help you connect with other people who also value self-care, and who know that self-care and success are both possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Learn from us and say goodbye to the overwhelm. Say no thanks to the culture that tells you exhaustion is a sign of success. Say hello again to joy, purpose, and feeling energized for the important work you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
