For the Love of Therapy: The True Definition of Wellness

About this sermon

In this latest installment of our For The Love of Therapy series, we delve into a timely discussion on mental wellness with a focus on genuine self-care. Our guest, Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, a renowned psychiatrist and advocate for women, offers fresh insights that urge listeners to break free from the superficial beauty and wellness industry's narrative that is steadily being pushed at us through all kinds of media, but in a dizzying fashion on social media, in particular. Steering the talk away from quick-fix solutions, Dr. Lakshmin illuminates the essence of true self-care, which, in her research, links to four major chambers rarely associated with this concept. From the importance of saying 'No' when overwhelmed, to understanding that self-care is more than just a beauty regimen, she reminds us that wellness comes from within. Dr. Lakshmin, an accomplished writer for the New York Times and founder of the Gemma community, also shares insights from her book, 'Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble Baths Not Included)'. Join us for this enlightening conversation and let's start redefining what wellness truly means. * * * Thank you to our sponsors! ➤ Chime | Visit chime.com/forthelove to learn how you can benefit from using Chime! ➤ BetterHelp | Visit betterhelp.com/forthelove to save 10% on your first month! #ForTheLove #ForTheLovePodcast #JenHatmaker _________ CHECK OUT Resources Mentioned in This Episode: ➤ Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble Baths Not Included) by Dr. Pooja Lakshmin - https://www.poojalakshmin.com/realselfcare ➤ Audre Lorde - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audre_Lorde ➤ Bell Hooks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_hooks ➤ Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself - by Melody Beattie - https://www.melodybeattie.com/books ➤ For the Love Podcast episode featuring Brené Brown - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-02/getting-vulnerable-with-dr-brene-brown/ ➤ Gemma - https://www.gemmawomen.com/ ➤ For the Love Premium Bonus Podcast episode featuring Melodie Beatty - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/294-premium-bonus-unpacking-codependent-relationships/id1633707448?i=1000581061949 CONNECT with Our Guest! ➤ Website: https://www.poojalakshmin.com/ ➤ Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmaker ➤ Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmaker ➤ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ ___ ➤ JEN HATMAKER BOOK CLUB - Join the sisterhood! https://jenhatmakerbookclub.com ___ WATCH more videos from Jen: ➤ For the Love of Small Wins series: https://bit.ly/FTLsmallwins ➤ For the Love of The Enneagram series: https://bit.ly/FTLenneagram ➤ Happy Hour: http://bit.ly/JensHappyHour ➤ Monday Mornings with Jen: http://bit.ly/MondayMorningsJen ___ CONNECT with Jen! ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jenhatmaker ➤ FOLLOW Jen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ ➤ LIKE Jen on Facebook: https://facebook.com/jenhatmaker ➤ SUBSCRIBE NOW on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker?sub_confirmation=1 ➤ VISIT: http://jenhatmaker.com/ ___ For more “For the Love” . . . ➤ SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastApple ➤ LISTEN on Spotify: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastSpotify ➤ HEAR IT on Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastStitcher ➤ LISTEN on iHeartRadio: http://bit.ly/FTLPodcastiHeart
