In this episode of Not in the Visit Note, we get real about self-care—the version we talk about, the version we want to have, and the version we actually manage to squeeze into our lives. We share what fills our cups (when we remember to refill them) and the small things that help us stay grounded in the middle of chaotic schedules and constant demands.

But let’s be honest—prioritizing ourselves isn’t easy. Between work, responsibilities, and showing up for everyone else, self-care often ends up last on the list. We dive into the guilt, the excuses, and the very real struggle of making time for ourselves, even when we know how important it is.

If you’ve ever said “I’ll take care of myself later” and then… didn’t—this episode is for you.

No names. No facilities. Just validation, dark humor, and the stuff that never makes it into the visit note.
