In this episode of The Macro Hour, host Nikkiey Stott flips the script on the modern definition of “self-care.” With tough love and raw honesty, she unpacks why so many women are stuck in a cycle of emotional escape masked as “balance” — and how what they think is nurturing them is actually sabotaging their goals.

Listeners will walk away with a powerful reframe on what it means to truly care for yourself — and how to start choosing habits that build confidence instead of chaos.
