About this listen
For the past two years as a country, as a world, we've all been faced with a crisis that none of us was prepared for. In this blindsiding which was the coronavirus, the world got an invitation to see and question things as they were. One of the major things that came up in the midst of the pandemic was "self-care".
With government shutdowns and curfews, people were left to be at home apart from others and saw firsthand what their level of self-care was and in a panic, they noticed the lack of their self-care.
What was once looked at as a luxury item was no longer the case. It was now a mark of survival. It was now a 911 call that everyone was making. At the head of the lines calling 911 were the first respondents and caregivers. While we made encouraging sounds with pots and pans, those who needed to care for others the most were the ones who needed the most self-care.
This book is a conversation and an invitation not only to self-care, but the value of having a plan, and a routine, so that you are able to be your best when it matters most for you and for the sake of others around you. I Care For Me First is the heart cry that those who are used to being called to care for others want to cry but don't know how to.
You will get an in-depth account of the conversations that happened with the mother of a special needs child who was on the verge of breaking down and the steps it took for her to build herself back up. You will walk away from this book wondering why no one ever told you that the world is better off with the best version of you and self-care isn't the reactive response to a crisis, but a proactive one that allows us to survive and thrive when a crisis comes.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Your intuition and empathy create situations where you always put others first and say “yes” to everything, regardless of how you feel or what you need. As a result, you end up in unhealthy relationship dynamics that leave you exhausted, resentful, and stressed.
