stories + caregiving + health + books
Welcome to the Selfish Giver blog! If you’re used to taking care of everyone else, except yourself, you’re in the right place.
Here, we focus on a different approach to health for nurses & moms. One that focuses on rest, supports your nervous system, & makes feeling better simple and doable. And dare we say it, enjoyable even.
