Would rather listen than read? Here is the full Nantucket After Dark Episode here;  https://nantucketloveschool.com/nantucketafterdarkpodcast so let's get to it. I live and I love this. So I'm going to share with you these three different types of care we need and how to apply them. So, first off self-care everyone pretty much knows this, right? Its self-care is this idea where we care for ourselves and maybe it involves a massage or maybe an involves, um, going for a walk or making sure we're eating really well.
