Discover how to identify true self-care versus numbing/avoiding for women over 40, why the difference matters for long-term wellbeing, and practical strategies for choosing actions that truly nourish. Perfect for women whose "self-care" involves wine, shopping, or behaviors creating guilt afterward. Includes self-care audit and alternative soothing strategies.
