Selfie Podcast is now live! Here's what we're talking about . . .

Selfie Podcast launched today! It’s been a long time to get here, but my longtime friend (and video partner) Sarah James and I launched our partner about the quest for self-care. We wanted this podcast to be a real, vulnerable conversation about how we take care of ourselvse, and why that simple idea can sometimes be so difficult. We are proud to be a part of the Life, Listened network of podcasts. Here’s the official description:

Selfie is a podcast about self-care and other shit. Sarah James, a lifestyle blogger and self-help aficionado, is joined by bestie Kristen Howerton, a writer and psychotherapist, as they tackle the tricky and often elusive aspects of caring for ourselves. Their weekly conversations explore questions like: Why don’t I eat the way I should? How do I get enough sleep? What aspects of my personality make self-care tricky? And what’s the best way to deal with pubic hair? From the silly to the serious, Kristen and Sarah are taking a vulnerable and often humorous looking at body, mind and spirit . . . and maybe a touch of the random, all while looking at the distractions and defenses that keep us from caring for ourselves like we should.

In our first episode, we are talking about sleep . . . a component of self-care that both Sarah and I have struggled with mightily. Why is it so hard for us to achieve this basic human need? We also give an intro to the Meyer's Brigg's personality types and self-care for introverts vs. extroverts. And face-shaving for women . . . it's a thing. And we are talking about it.

You can listen to our first episode (and also episode #2 on hair, 

body positivity, and inution vs. sensing) on itunes here.

  Links We Mentioned in Episode 1

• We talked about the brilliant Arriana Huffington Sleep Book, which has all kinds of information about the importance of sleep and how to get more of it.
• Both Sarah and I are huge fans of this particular sound machine. It's low-tech but creates a perfect wind noise.
• If you are looking for apps to calm you down or help you sleep, we love the calm app. And when we are away from our beloved sound machines, this app is great for hotel room white noise.
• In our next few episodes, we are talking about the Meyer's Brigg's personality types. If you've never figured out your type, check out this Meyer's Briggs online test for free. It's fascinating and informative.
• Thinking of dipping your toes in the brave new world of female face-shaving? Thinking of dipping your toes in the brave new world of female face-shaving?  The Tinkle razors are your best bet.
