002 Mary Houston on Rewriting Our Stories - a podcast by Clare Foale

In this episode I chat with Mary Houston.
I have been coached by Mary in life and business. She is a personal growth pioneer.
She home schools a high needs son and understands firsthand that finding ways to care for the self can be easier said than done.
Mary's approach is compassionate, insightful, intuitive with a touch of ass kicking and radical honesty.
What we talked about:
- That what self-care 'should' look like is non-existent in Mary's life, with the demands of raising and home schooling a high needs son
- The challenge of having zero time to one's self
- Noticing the small things in the moment as an act of self-care
- Letting 'self-care be what it needs to be on any given day'
- Lessons on self-care from Nelson Mandela
- Feeling hopeless in your situation and anger at those who suggest your reasons for not caring for yourself are 'excuses'.
- Self-love as the gateway to self-care
- Loving yourself because of your humanness, not despite it
- Using your hardships and challenges as anchors by facing them and embracing them. Not easy, but possible.
- Challenging the absolute truth of your stories
