Self-care looks different for everyone, but somewhere between daily 10-step skincare routines 🧴, cutting people off without a second thought 🚫, and the rise of the “healing out loud” era 💬, things got complicated.
In this month’s episode of Teens Tap In, co-hosts Faith and Sara get real about what self-care actually means 💭, when boundaries start to look like avoidance 🚧, and how to truly take care of yourself in a world that’s turned healing into a highlight reel ✨.
