5 Self-Care Strategies Every Social Entrepreneur & Caregiver Needs to Stay Grounded and Effective

When your mission collides with a personal crisis, it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in responsibilities. But staying grounded and effective isn’t just a nice idea; it’s essential for your impact and well-being.

In this solo episode of Avant-Garde Entrepreneur, I share five self-care strategies I’ve learned and lived through while navigating 16 months of caregiving and entrepreneurship. These aren’t fluffy wellness tips—they’re practical, battle-tested tools that have kept me sane, purposeful, and able to serve my mission while caring deeply for someone I love.

From loosening your grip on perfection to regulating your nervous system in two minutes flat, to fiercely protecting one small thing that keeps you connected to your higher purpose, these strategies will help you balance purpose, progress, and personal well-being (even in your hardest seasons).
