Ep 93: A Return to Routines and Self Care

September brings a sense of fresh starts, but what if, instead of hustling into new routines, you chose to return to self-care with calmness and gratitude? In this episode, Dorothy explores how to build supportive routines not from punishment or “I have to” energy, but from self-love, wholeness, and trust.

You’ll learn:
✨ How to anchor calm into your day with simple 2-minute grounding practices
✨ Why supportive routines (like water, walks, and strength workouts) matter more than rigid “all-or-nothing” plans
✨ The trap of September overcommitment, and choosing rest as progress
✨ A new lens on worthiness: why you don’t have to hustle to prove yourself

This episode is an invitation to return to your body, your life, and this season with gratitude. Your routines don’t need to be perfect, they just need to remind you that you are worthy, whole, and supported.
