EP157 - Everyday Self-Care Tips with Melissa from Melissa Made with Love

In today's episode, I had a conversation with Melissa, owner of MelissaMade with Love, about the crucial role of self-care in our busy lives. We delved into her entrepreneurial journey and how her passion for skincare merged with a mission to foster mindfulness in daily routines. One standout insight was her approach of "micro moments" of self-care, emphasizing that even brief, mindful practices can create a significant impact. Melissa encouraged us to treat daily tasks, like caring for our skin, as rituals rather than chores, highlighting how this mindfulness can decrease stress and enhance well-being. We shared practical tips for integrating self-care into our densely packed schedules and explored her beliefs about the importance of human connection in building supportive wellness practices. Overall, the conversation underlines the idea that self-care doesn’t need to be grand but can be elegantly woven into the fabric of our daily rhythms.
