Why Self-Care Fails (and What Actually Works)
Self-care isn’t failing because you aren’t trying hard enough.
It fails because we’ve misunderstood what it’s for.
When you’re overwhelmed, your nervous system shifts into survival mode.
Planning gets harder. Stopping feels impossible.
Even choosing feels heavy.
That’s not a personal failure.
It’s a system under pressure.
This live conversation will help you:
• Understand why “treat yourself” relief doesn’t sustain you
• Learn what actually stabilizes a depleted nervous system
• Replace perfect routines with care that works in real life
You’ll leave with:
• A practical redefinition of self-care as maintenance, not reward
• One or two simple stabilizing practices you can use immediately
• A clearer decision rule: Does this stabilize me?
What is a Community Coaching Conversation?
February Session
Date: Wednesday, February 11
Time: 7:00 PM ET
Cost: Free
Community Coaching Conversations are live, group-based coaching sessions designed to replace surface-level advice with real understanding, practical support, and shared language.
This isn’t a lecture.
It isn’t a Q&A free-for-all.
And it isn’t another list of things to try harder at.
It’s a guided conversation led by an experienced coach where educators learn why something isn’t working and how to respond in ways that actually stabilize them.
