You Deserve to Be Treated Right Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

Hey, it’s Amy Newmark with your Chicken Soup for the Soul and we have a new book I’m very passionate about. It’s all about how Self-Care Isn’t Selfish. That’s because self-care is not optional. It’s a necessary, powerful commitment to making yourself a priority. And it also means learning how to stick up for yourself. Sometimes we don’t do that. We are trying to be nice, or we can’t initially believe that someone IS NOT treating us right, so we let it slide, and then it kind of becomes the official way that relationship is going to be.
