211: Why Self Care Is Important for Stay at Home Moms

Are you struggling to show up as your best self?
Feeling like your needs aren’t being met?
In a state of constant pouring out and needing refilled?

In this episode I dive into what I like to call your selfcare baseline… aka non-negotiables, aka fundamental needs. So moms, it’s so easy for us to fall into the trap that “selfcare is selfish”, that we need to keep serving and tending to the needs of others or our home before we can do anything for ourselves. But in reality, that’s backwards. We have to steward our minds, bodies, and spiritual health well SO THAT we can continue showing up for our families, home, and others. In this episode I dive into the critical importance of self care for stay at home/work from home moms and give you steps on how to get started implementing your baseline selfcare.
