Many professional women think of self-care as something you do after work to recover from stress or burnout. But self-care should be an essential part of your professional life as well! Our mental health and wellness doesn’t stop at the office door. When we do things like learn to set boundaries, advocate for appropriate compensation, and treat ourselves with compassion and patience for mistakes, we’re setting ourselves up for a career that’s sustainable. Making plans to leave a toxic job or an abusive boss is self-care too!
