The story behind Self Care Cabin
I got tired of reading about the same old things when it comes to self care. Take a bath, go for a walk, buy a scented candle. Isn’t there more to self care than this?
As someone that doesn’t like baths (I prefer showers), I found this super frustrating. Maybe you do too. Self care is about taking care of our own individual needs, and so much of what’s out there is targeted at a very specific audience. I thought it’s time there’s a cozy place on the internet that celebrates that and makes self care achievable, affordable, approachable, and — most importantly — uniquely you.
That’s what led me to create this website and community, Self Care Cabin.
It’s called that because I want this place to feel cozy — like a warm hug, a good friend, a comforting blanket. It’s a welcome break from your normal world — whether that’s a corporate 9-5, studying, or building your own business.
This blog and community is a place to find new self care habits, get inspiration and motivation with your goals, and to find self care ideas and things to do that maybe you hadn’t considered before.
Fun fact: I also designed the Self Care Cabin logo on my iPad. Digital drawing is another hobby of mine, and I also have a work-in-progress sticker shop. 🖼
A little about me
Hiiiii! I’m Nicola, and I’m the creator of Self Care Cabin. 😊
I’m a mid-30s freelance content writer and advocate of all things self care. My life involves balancing client work, passion projects, parenting, and navigating life in my 30s. It’s a lot. 😅
As part of both in-house roles and freelance work I’ve been involved with HR and employee experience, and those people-first habits are something that I think we all need more of in our lives — hence the drive to create this library of affordable, inclusive, and welcoming self care resources for everyone.
My approach to self care and building a better work-life balance comes from my career history and personal experience, including:
- Supporting employee engagement and wellness programs
- Working with innovative companies in the HR tech industry
- Staying up to date with HR, wellness, and work-life balance trends
- Lived experience of anxiety and neurodivergence
- Embracing self care habits in my own life and seeing the positive impact it’s made
Self care plays a big role in my life. Sticking to routines, adding in small spaces for self care in my everyday life, and taking regular self care days means I can show up as the best version of myself. 💛
