<![CDATA[Making The Time: Well Being Through Compassionate Self-Care]]>What if self-care was less about another thing to “do” and more about becoming who you're meant to be?

Making The Time is a podcast for anyone who's ever felt the quiet pull to live more intentionally, more authentically — and wondered where to start.

In each episode, we go beyond the obvious and explore the full landscape of self-care: the emotional, the creative, the financial, the spiritual, the relational — and the parts of ourselves we don't always talk about. Guests bring their real-world wisdom and lived experience, sharing how caring for themselves in their area of expertise has transformed not just their own lives, but the lives of those around them, and beyond.

And woven through every conversation? The Making The Time oracle card deck — a tool for reflection that helps us name our inner wisdom, recognize what holds us back, and commit to meaningful action.

Because self-care isn't indulgence, it’s necessary. It's how we show up — for ourselves, and for everyone we love.

New episodes weekly. Mark your calendars, set the alarm.

Make the time.
