I’m pretty low-key about it, honestly. I'm not someone who posts a ton on social media, but when something genuinely makes a difference in my life, I'll mention it in conversation with friends or share it in my Instagram stories with a quick "this has been a game changer" caption.

I think people trust recommendations that feel authentic and unpolished, so that's how I naturally share things.. just genuine enthusiasm without the pressure to be an influencer.

Self-care for me right now is about finding small, sustainable moments in the chaos of teaching. It's that first glass of cold water in the morning before I dive into lesson plans, or the way I force myself to actually drink enough throughout the day instead of surviving on coffee alone.Honestly, it's also about being gentler with myself. Some days self-care is a full evening routine with my Weddell Duo making my shower feel like a spa moment. Other days, it's just remembering to hydrate, take my vitamins, and get to bed at a reasonable hour instead of grading papers until midnight.This chapter is teaching me that self-care doesn’t have to be Instagram worthy. it's the unglamorous stuff like drinking enough water, moving my body even when I'm exhausted, and protecting my energy so I can actually show up for my students and myself.
