It's a new year and with that come new year resolutions which often include various forms of SELF-CARE.
As moms and women we're so often told not to forget to take care of ourselves, to fill our own cup so that we can pour out on others. And while none of that is entirely WRONG, it often seems shallow or laughably unattainable.
That is until you redefine self-care and bring it into alignment with what your soul is really thirsty for.
In this episode, Lauren and Brooke dig into what self-care is and isn't. We cover:
- How the podcast season break was a self-care thing
- Self-care doesn’t equal "me time"
- Distinguishing between distraction/tuning out vs true self-care
- Lauren’s “cheat sheet” of things to do after a hard birth
- Building in rhythms proactively
- The role of self-talk in self-care
And more!
Grab your mug of hot beverage and listen in.
