Over the holidays, Zam attended a wellness retreat in New Zealand while Ruhi travelled to Bali for some time off. Both came back with some new self-care rituals they were keen to implement into their routines. But two weeks later, it all went out the window as they came to terms with 'real life' again. In Episode 1 of Season 2, they talk about the ways they are trying to find a balance between the zen and the hustle. They also talk about how, like many other brown women, they were raised to sacrifice any preoccupation with their emotions and/or to sacrifice their individual pursuits of enjoyment, apart from their families; they weren't exactly given the space to enjoy themselves or care for themselves on their own terms. Lastly, Zam and Ruhi discuss moving beyond self-care and asking someone else to care for you, which is especially helpful when, at times, you suck at self-care as much as they do.Let us know what you do for self care.
