Elizabeth Cush on Self-Care
Stressed? Depressed? Anxious? Overwhelmed? In this week’s episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush talks about the importance of self care for women.
“If we’re always putting everyone else’s needs first, there isn’t much energy left for us.”
Show Notes:
Your partner, your children, your parents, your tribe… If you’re like most women, you spend a lot of time and energy on your family and friends. But what about taking care of yourself?

In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks about what self care really is, why it’s so important and why it’s hard for women to make a habit of it. She also shares some simply tips for incorporating the practice of self care into your daily life.
