Ep108: What High-Achieving Women Get Wrong About Self-Care

In this episode of Daring DVM, Dr. Amy Grimm breaks down Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, a powerful framework for understanding what truly drives us, and then re-frames it through the lens of self-care.

Doing this helps us understand why we feel the way we do, and why burnout can feel so confusing, even when life looks ‘good’ on paper.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting or confused about why you’re so exhausted despite “having it all,” this episode is for you. Learn how real self-care starts with honoring your most basic needs and builds toward a life that actually feels good, not just looks good on paper.

When you think about self-care, I want you to think less about ‘treating’ yourself and more about supporting yourself from the ground up. That’s how you build a life that actually feels good to live in. 💜

In this episode:

• A quick vacation recap and a peek at what we’ve been up to


• A simple breakdown of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs


• How to understand your needs through the lens of self-care
