Self-Care Is Not Selfish: Prioritizing Your Needs Through Planning

#221 Self-Care Is Not Selfish: Prioritizing Your Needs Through Planning:

Welcome back to Burnout to Brilliance! Kelly here, and I’m joined by my amazing co-host, Sarah. As we dive into the heart of the holiday season, it’s a time filled with joy, family, and celebration—but let’s be real, it’s also a time of immense pressure. That’s why today’s episode is all about the often-overlooked pillar of sustainable success: self-care.

If you’ve been juggling work, family, and countless commitments, you’re not alone. We see you. In this episode, we’re reframing self-care from a luxury to a necessity. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies to make self-care a regular and sustainable part of your routine—because when you take care of yourself, you’re better equipped to care for everything (and everyone) else.

 

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

  • Why self-care is essential, not selfish, especially during high-pressure seasons
  • Practical steps to integrate self-care into your daily and weekly routine
  • The impact of self-care on your mental health, productivity, and overall well-being
  • Real-life success stories of people who transformed their lives and businesses through consistent self-care
  • Common obstacles like guilt and the hustle culture, and how to overcome them
  • Tools and strategies to help you plan and prioritize self-care effectively

About your host

Profile picture for Kelly Baader

Kelly Baader

Kelly Baader is a TEDx speaker, Amazon bestselling author, and ICF-certified coach who's spent nearly two decades helping Christ-centered entrepreneurs across three continents build profitable businesses without burning out.

After building her own "successful" business that nearly cost her everything that mattered, God met her in her kitchen on her 50th birthday with a clear mandate: gather His Esthers and Josephs and equip them to take their places in the marketplace.

Since 2008, Kelly has coached founders from zero revenue to corporate contracts, helped entrepreneurs scale to teams of 8+, and watched clients hit 50% closing rates on their first launches. Her approach centers on one revolutionary truth: Grace is the fastest accelerator.
You'll get a no-holds-barred look at how Kelly builds her business—plus candid conversations with hand-picked experts and unexpected entrepreneurs who've cracked the code on sustainable success without sacrificing what matters most.

No hustle culture. No "rise and grind." Just real talk about building a business that honors your faith, your family, and your sanity.
