What's it about?

Personal Development
Type 2 Helpers tend to be general, altruistic, and empathetic. This makes you incredibly supportive and good with people but your people-pleasing ways lead you to neglect your own needs. With these Blinks and Shortcast episodes, you'll learn why self-care is so important, how to practice self-care in your everyday interactions, as well as how to set and communicate your boundaries in love, life, and at work.
