Your Self Care ROI Sucks.
Jul 17, 2025
Your self care ROI sucks.
You spend the time. The money. The effort.
But the return on investment just isn’t there…
and it isn’t your fault.
As women, we are trained by Instagram, Facebook Ads and service providers to give our power away. You’ll feel better IF you spend the money to:
- Learn this new technique!
- Buy this new course!
- Hire this healer/provider/educator!
- ( UNSPOKEN : Because you clearly aren’t doing ENOUGH to take care of yourself. )
And ya’ll. WE BAD ASS MOMS who are MAKING IT HAPPEN are f*cking TIRED.
Meaning that buying more, learning more and doing more is a slippery slope to deepening the fatigue, burnout and financial strain we’ve already created.
New Flex: instantly leverage small doses of self care.
1. Immerse yourself in the sensory experience (feel, taste, smell and hear it all.)
2. AUTHENTICALLY celebrate the win.
And instead of a momentary blip of dopamine from that massage or moment, your nervous system actually WIRES to be more at ease, vibrate higher and feel even more pleasure.
For example:
I stopped for an iced coffee this past week, and watched as a series of choices scrolled through my internal algorithm:
- Stop for a coffee before I go to work?
- Stop for a fancy iced latte or at Panera where I have a drink subscription?
- Get an extra large iced coffee or a reasonably sized one?
- Extra sugar? Extra cream? Black like my darkest thoughts?
I was struck by how many chances I had to execute care for my Self, my body and business for absolutely NO money:
Business Care: After a long night with Baby Joey, I knew a coffee would increase my focus.
Financial Care: Using my subscription would effectively get me that coffee for less than $1.
Nervous System Care: With my metabolism - a smaller iced coffee with extra half and half + a little sugar gets me an increase in energy without the anxiety buzz
Celebration!: I said “GIRL. Look at you! You deserve this delicious coffee AND to count all those wins!” and took a big drink in the sunshine (without anyone asking me for anything because my kids were in care for the day.)
I NOTICED all of those things. I let them warm my heart, seep into my bones and integrate into my day as a deepening belief that there is money, energy and connection available to me at any time.
So stop giving your power away to the influencers, the coaches, the wellness gurus and the self help authors … and just creating a more extensive to do list.
Make the easy choice.
Experience deeply.
Celebrate big.
