“Even in the midst of stuff that seems impossible, we find a way to shine.” -Faith Broussard Cade

In this episode of the "Your Self-Care Prescription" podcast, I am joined by Faith Broussard Cade. We talk about self-care, emotional well-being, and the importance of being vulnerable. I opened up about my own experience with loss and how Faith's inspiring notes helped me find comfort during a tough time. Faith shares her journey of healing after a traumatic accident, which led her to create those notes. This episode is all about encouraging you to embrace vulnerability and focus on self-care because sharing our struggles can help us build connection and resilience.

In this episode, you can expect to hear:
-The power of vulnerability in fostering connection and understanding.
-The role of inspirational messages and notes in promoting self-care.
-The challenges of motherhood and the pressures of social media.
-The creation and purpose of the book "Shine Bright Anyway."
-Acknowledging pain as a crucial step in the healing process.
