About the Author
Hi, I’m Lauren Cartwright, MS, LCPC, a therapist of over 20 years, breast cancer survivor, mother and Christian. I created this guide because I lived what I now teach-burnout, exhaustion and
losing myself to everything else. Self-care wasn't a luxury for me. It was literally the difference between life and death. And now it's my mission to help other women finally put themselves first-
without guilt, shame or burnout.
