Fears can be sneaky and drip into our lives for a long time before they suddenly try to destroy us. Or, fears can be like a camouflaged monster and try to swallow us up swiftly before we even know it. Sound familiar? Within the weight of fears, they can feel like limiting beliefs, the evil perfectionist that lives in our head, fear of not being enough, fear of rejection, and fear of other’s opinions. - Britt Olson
These may come in various ranges and look like: FEARS |
| My name is Chelsea Harris, Co-Founder of DAFFY, and I officially started the DAFFY creation process in 2018. which involved research gathered from surveys, interviews and focus groups of anonymous women around the topic of self-care. And in this journey of research, were conversations filled with vulnerability, emotions, values & expressions I couldn’t ignore. When certain words were passed around in conversation, I was plugged into their rawness, dialed into their vowels & charged by their diction - They were all familiar tunes humming inside me. Because, what these women were feeling, I felt and was feeling too. |  |
DAFFY is here because what women said to me which I’m sharing with you right here

 | “When you wear a lot of hats you have to constantly make sure you aren’t dropping the ball. I work hard to keep up a strict workflow despite the struggles of raising a family and managing my own business.” “As a female trying to balance work and life, I experience anxiety on a daily basis, and it has become a pretty consistent companion in the time I spend with my work. It comes as a direct result of the pressure to always be put together and maintain a flawless personal presence.” “I work from home while also being a stay-at-home mom, so I get anxiety that I’ll have enough quiet time every day to get my hours in. On rough days, I stress over not getting much sleep because I have to work late and get up early to do so.” “Coming together is so important and makes us feel so much better whether you’re struggling or thriving!" |
Here’s what real women said via HuffPost regarding self-care below:
Self-care is... ‘not attending some extravagant spa day with the girls, but rather being able to identify when I need to slow down and perhaps cancel that spa day.’ - Katie McCartney
“When self-care becomes a competitive and performative ritual on social media, it defeats its purpose... Self-care isn’t glamorous. It’s the everyday work you do for yourself to make you a little bit happier and healthy..If I had a self-care Instagram account, it probably wouldn’t be very popular ― there are only so many creative ways to take pictures of a water bottle or broccoli ― but self-care isn’t for other people, it’s just for you.” - Emily Bilek
Self-care is... ‘typically more difficult and less glamorous than treating yourself.’ - Emily Bilek
