Self Care Is Hard

There really is nothing simple about self care BUT sometimes there can be small ways to simplify our approach or mindset around it. Today I am sharing my 3 big HARD learnings around self care, why I hate the term self care and a few ways to learn and explore more about this topic so you can start taking bold consistent action.

If you have ever been frustrated by traditional preachy self care messages then this one is for you - I hope that by keeping it real around this topic we can all make more realistic changes to our "self care" practices.

*Also note - if you were the girl looking for helium I wasn't calling you out - it was just a simple way to tell my story and articulate my point. I am keeping track of how many helium moms I have seen in lockdown on social media - my count is 27 so far so don't worry you aren't alone and you are an amazing mom!

Inspired action from this episode could be reading my Book Recommendation - Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle or committing to completing a self check in and ranking areas of your self care and wellness so you can focus your efforts where it is needed most.
