#216 Self-Care Strategies to Prevent Burnout for Marketing Service Providers with Erica Diamond

Unicorns Unite: The Freelance Digital Marketing Virtual Assistant Community

FREE LIVE INFOSESSION: How to Become a Virtual Assistant. Tuesday Sept. 10 @ 12pm est. For stay-at-home moms, military spouses, teachers, and career-changers. What you need to know about the VA industry so you can figure out the best way to make money from home using your brain. If you've been wanting to get started, need the building blocks, and want to know how to get your foot in the door, make sure you save a seat!

Self-care isn't selfish. It's how we can maintain quality work and client relationships. As service providers, we focus so much on our client work that we can end up putting ourselves last. When you don’t take care of yourself, it catches up to you, you make mistakes, and you suffer from burnout.

My guest Erica Diamond is an acclaimed Media Expert, Professional Speaker, Bestselling Author, Certified Life and Career Coach, Certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Podcast Host, and Founder of Bliss Essential Oils. She helps organizations and busy women prioritize self-care and prevent burnout so you can experience less stress, more joy, and greater balance every day! Erica shares her personal journey and highlights the blurred boundaries between work and home life for digital creatives & service providers.

Listen to learn more about

• prioritizing the 5 key pillars of self-care
• simple yet effective practices like box breathing and daily walks
• the importance of small, consistent self-care habits, setting boundaries, and managing time
• the symptoms of burnout and how to avoid it
• how to build resilience and improve overall well-being

Tune in and hear all of Erica’s actionable tips so you can put yourself first (I even started using some!) Remember that "Self-care is not self-indulgence. Self-care is survival. It really is. Self-care is sanity, not vanity."
