Self-Care vs. Self-Sabotage: Navigating the Modern Wellness Maze

Self-Care vs. Self-Sabotage: Navigating the Modern Wellness Maze
Self-sabotage often masquerades as self-care because it feels good in the moment. A pint of ice cream after a stressful day, a pricey shopping spree to "treat yourself," or zoning out with hours of binge-watching might seem like acts of kindness to yourself. These behaviors are readily accessible, easy to do, and provide instant gratification—qualities that make them extra tempting and hard to resist. And these self-indulgenges are ok in small doses.

Meet Frederique!

Hi, I’m Fredy Begin. My personal healing journey—for myself and my family—has fueled my mission to help others experience deep, lasting transformation. With decades of professional experience, an enormous toolbox of evidence-based strategies, and a love for laughter, I’ve developed a unique approach that’s equal parts effective, playful, and deeply compassionate.

My Stacking Stones approach brings together neuroscience, attachment theory, expressive therapies, and ancient wisdom to address challenges at every level—mind, body, spirit, and community. This integrative method works especially well for families with strong-willed children and for individuals who’ve tried everything but still feel stuck or are ready to go beyond coping to thrive.

Because of the high demand for this work, I’ve created courses, workshops, and a library of free resources to share what I’ve spent years learning and refining. Healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming; I make it accessible and fun, so you’ll actually want to take the steps to transform your life.
I believe that when families heal, the world becomes a more peaceful, joyful place—and I want to make that vision a reality. If finances are a barrier to accessing my offerings, reach out to me directly—I’m here to make this work available to everyone.
