#308 Are You Practicing Self-Care or Just Trying to Escape?

Episode notes

Hey Friend! Have you ever booked a vacation, binge-watched a show, or “treated yourself” just to numb out from your life? You’re not alone—but that’s not self-care. That’s escape. In this powerful Summer Redux episode, we explore the difference between true whole self-care and self-triage —that frantic urge to escape your life instead of build one you love. Tami shares how subtle avoidance habits sneak in, what signs to watch for, and how to create a rhythm of rest and restoration before burnout takes over. This conversation will challenge how you think about your routines, responsibilities, and rest. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what actually fills your cup. If you’re craving peace, presence, and purpose—this one’s for you. “You can’t escape your way into peace. You have to create a life you don’t want to run from.” “Rest is not the opposite of productivity. Escape is.” “You’re not avoiding because you don’t care—you’re avoiding because you care too much and don’t know how to refill.” Want to Go Deeper?
