Discover the secret to genuine self-care without breaking the bank! In our season opener of the Let Me Interrupt podcast, we welcome the brilliant Melissa Dumaz, a licensed marriage and family therapist, to unravel the myths around self-care. Melissa helps us redefine self-care not as a luxury but as a necessary lifestyle, particularly for moms and working women who often find themselves at the bottom of their priority list.
Together, we unpack the essential tools for identifying your personal self-care needs and the critical importance of setting boundaries to maintain balance and be your best self in all aspects of life. Ever wondered what true self-care looks like? Think of it as a personal shoe shopping experience—trying on various activities until you find the perfect fit. We'll guide you through building a holistic self-care regimen that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit with activities like exercise, journaling, therapy, and mindfulness.
We also touch on the significance of evaluating your support network and the courage it takes to ask for help. Plus, learn when it might be time to seek professional help and how to start that journey. Tune in for a transformative conversation that promises to reframe how you prioritize yourself, complete with a powerful journal prompt to kickstart your self-care journey.

We're ecstatic to bring to the mic, the brilliant Kori Reed, author of Men in the Middle, committed to uncovering the untold narrative around gender equity. Join us as Kori takes us along the intriguing path of her research, where she sought to understand why men are often silent on issues of gender equality. Her findings may surprise you!
In this engaging episode, we investigate the subtle differences between equality and equity, two terms often used interchangeably but with distinct meanings. Kori passionately advocates for equity, and she'll explain why. Her goal is not to threaten men, but rather to invite them to the table, to share in the abundant benefits that gender equity brings. Our conversation goes further as we uncover strategies for men to support gender equity within their workplaces. We'll examine the power of open dialogues and the role of role-playing in fostering an environment of understanding and acceptance.
