Maria and I chatted all about what self care actually is, how self care has been commercialized, why it’s so important for us to practice self care as Black women, and of course she shared her favorite resources to help you develop your own self care plan.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls&source=gmail&ust=1538622020816000&usg=AFQjCNFHg2vUjd41FYq3FV9a_9GP8cNwtg">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast including Maria's! </p> <p>Download the <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id906660772?pt=102448848&ct=drjoy&mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ThinkUp app</a> and join us for <a href= "https://www.therapyforblackgirls.com/31-days-affirmations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">31 Days of Affirmations</a>!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Where to Find Maria</strong></p> <p><span style= "color: #22242f; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> <strong><a href="http://www.daybydaytherapeuticservices.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.daybydaytherapeuticservices.com/&source=gmail&ust=1538622020816000&usg=AFQjCNEhc9dHrYF5hl9PPWFKVXcUCIfEUw"> http://www.<wbr />daybydaytherapeuticservices.<wbr />com/</a></strong></span></p> <p><a href="https://autisminblack.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><
