The Tool of Self-Care with Brea Schmidt
Ever feel like it’s “that time of the year”–the entire year? Hustling, bustling, running around nonstop without a window of time for yourself? The gears never get a break from spinning, and your body goes on autopilot. Yes, we all know that taking care of ourselves is important. But, when your life looks and feels like this, it can seem impossible.
Cristin Goss, an 8-year brand photographer turned confidence coach, joins Brea Schmidt as they talk all things self-care. The two encourage the listener to shut out the world’s idea of self-care and rather practice it the way they want to.

Well-versed in mom groups, women’s conferences, and motivation, Brea highlights the importance of self-care. It is more than just a luxury–it is a tool.
