Vacuuming is usually a dreaded and despised Adulting Task, but I think that's only because most people don't understand how the vacuum works or what the parts are. In this Mominar, I will be explaining the parts of your machine, what each one does and how they all work together. I'm also going to show you some of the attachments which you can use, which will help you get those hard-to-reach or awkward surfaces. Where Does All The Dirt Go? You might have a vacuum that has a bag, which will…

HTL 096: Learning to Put Yourself First – the importance of Self-Care in order to care for others, with Jenine Kenna

Podcast
Today we are talking about learning how to Put Yourself First. That’s right. Putting yourself first. Looking out for number one. Creating boundaries.  Ooooh, that feels uncomfortable, doesn’t it?  It sounds so…selfish. Being selfish is considered a negative trait. We have put it in our heads that if we have responsibilities to others and we take some time for ourselves we are being selfish.

Self Care is about taking care of yourself first so that you are in the best position to care for others. How to Put Yourself First I would like to recommend some other shows that will help learn to…
