March 12, 2021 15:12 - 41 minutes - 35.9 MBThis episode explores using the amount of pain as an external marker.

February 05, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 30.8 MBThis episode explores other options in "self-care" because we all don't care about bubble baths. Baths are great - yes, but what about taking the long way home? Going to the movies on your own? Internet rabbit holes? "Self-care" would be more useful if we updated the idea of what counts.
