In this intriguing episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon welcome Dr. Jordan Quaglia, a psychology whiz from Naropa University, to chat about a concept called 'We-Care'. If you're thinking this sounds like another self-care fad, think again! We-Care is all about blending self-care with caring for others, turning the whole 'me versus them' dilemma on its head. Dr.
Quaglia shares his journey from therapist-in-training to research guru, revealing how his struggles with balancing self-care and client care led him to pioneer this revolutionary approach. With over a decade of experience in mindfulness and compassion, Dr. Quaglia introduces listeners to We-Care as a way to enhance both personal well-being and social connections. Imagine your self-care as a breath – an in-breath and out-breath working together, just like self-care and caring for others.
It's not about choosing one over the other; it's about making them dance together in harmony. Through anecdotes and light-hearted banter, Dr. Quaglia and the hosts explore practical ways to integrate We-Care into everyday life, whether you're juggling mental health challenges or simply trying to be a better friend or partner.
You'll learn how to identify your 'compassion spark' – perhaps your beloved pet or a cherished memory – and use it to fuel both your self-care and care for others. The episode wraps up with a call to reflect on your own care habits. Are you prioritising yourself enough? Or maybe you're giving so much that you're running on empty? Tune in for a fresh perspective that might just change how you view self-care and community care.
Grab a cuppa, sit back, and prepare to rethink how you care!
