ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Self-care is so dang hard to practice, especially on a consistent basis. Why? Some might say that we just need better time management tips. Others might say that if we understood how beneficial self-care is, we would prioritize it with less hesitation. But, if all moms needed was more tips, hacks, and information, we would all be practicing self-care consistently – but, we’re not. In fact, many of us are struggling to practice basic self-care, like showering and brushing our teeth, and I think it’s because beyond the tips, the hacks, and the information, many of us are triggered by self-care because it forces us to confront trauma and harmful beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of self-neglect because it’s familiar and it aligns with what we believe about ourselves and what society believes about us as women and as mothers. In this episode, I unpack this with clear examples so that you can begin to do the work of confronting the experiences and beliefs that are holding you back from the love and care you deserve.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We all feel it, but we don’t talk about it that much. I’m talking about the pressure many of us women, and especially mothers, feel to be exceptional at everything we do — parenting our children, showing up in our marriage, our fitness, our performance at work, our ability to clean and organize our homes. I could go on. There is this pressure to be excellent at an unrealistic number of things, and it’s hurting us. I’ve been noticing this more and more lately, and I’ve been particularly paying attention to how this pressure influences my decisions and day-to-day behavior — and I’m not loving what I’m seeing. This podcast episode is all about bringing this topic out in the open and helping you pinpoint how this pressure is hurting you and actually release it so you can be a more carefree and authentic version of yourself.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When I became a mom, I didn’t have anyone to talk to for tips or advice. In my circle of friends, I was the first to have a baby, so people were calling me! It was such a hard and overwhelming time marked by so much mom-guilt and the silent struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety. I made a lot of mistakes and learned so much. In this episode, you’ll hear me share my top 5 mistakes I made as a new mom, and what I wish I did instead. I hope that this episode can help make motherhood just a little bit easier for the next person.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Don’t you hate it when people tell you that rest is simply a choice? I know I do. For moms, we can’t simply choose between taking care of our children, for example, and taking a nap. There are some responsibilities in life that we HAVE to show up for. So, how do we rest when there are so many important things on our plates? In this podcast episode, I share advice and tips on how to get better at resting and replenishing yourself, alongside the demands that are a valid and normal part of your life.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you’re someone who struggles with cramming a bunch of new goals and habits into the beginning of a new year, and then get stuck in a shame spiral when things inevitably don’t go the way you planned, this episode is for you! As a reformed personal development junkie, recovering perfectionist, and reformed workaholic, I have learned a much gentler and effective approach to goal setting and building sustainable self-care practices that actually support you, rather than contribute to a harsh internal dialogue that you’re not good enough and keep you trapped in the burnout cycle. The practical tips I share in this episode can be used immediately and will completely change the way you approach goals and self-care for the better!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mothers have way too much on our plates—hands down. It’s next to impossible to prioritize your well-being on a regular basis and avoid burnout when you don’t have a fair and equitable partnership with your husband / partner. Gender stereotypes about what a “good” wife and mom are supposed to do are keeping us doing a vast majority of the household labor, parenting, and carrying the mental load. In this episode, I’m sharing 7 things that have helped my husband and I A LOT when it comes to navigating the responsibilities of work, home, and parenting.

🎧 About this Episode
I used to struggle with debilitating perfectionism, which was rooted in the need to keep myself safe and to earn love. This unhealthy, all-or-nothing mentality I had was also fueled by the self-help advice that demanded achievement and success at all costs. You can imagine that none of this works well when it comes to setting realistic goals and taking care of yourself on a regular basis. Over the years of my healing, I had to unlearn all of this and create a new approach to self-care — one that was rooted in self-compassion and sustainability so that I could actually show up for my self-care in a way that was nourishing and supportive. The 3 strategies I share in this episode have helped me build routines and rituals that always honor whatever season of life I’m in. Listen in to learn how to get out of the crash-and-burn cycle of overdoing it and finally experience the benefits of approaching your self-care goals in a sustainable way.

🎧 About this Episode We’ve all been there—lots of new intentions and goals, but when it comes to actually putting them into practice, it doesn’t seem to happen. We get frustrated with ourselves, feel ashamed, and then give up. This used to be my story until I woke up to the fact that I was struggling with the actual practice of self-care not because I was broken, but because I was spread too thin. I deserved a lot more compassion than I was giving to myself, and so do you. I wanted to figure out how I could give myself more time and energy to practice my self-care intentions, which led me to boundaries and how they could be applied to my daily life in a more practical way. In this episode, I teach you 3 different kinds of boundaries, each serving the purpose of helping you free up more time, energy, and space for your self-care. On top of getting more time and energy from setting these 3 kinds of boundaries, I also unexpectedly developed a stronger sense of self-worth and better self-advocacy skills, which have helped me get pay raises, land better jobs, and work on more fairness in my marriage when it came to household responsibilities and the mental load. So, the next time you struggle to show up for a goal or intention you set for yourself, instead of judging yourself, I hope you use my boundary-setting framework to help you meet your wants and needs.📩 Along with each episode, I'll be emailing an Affirmation of the Week and a Self-Care Practice of the Week, so make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter to come along for the journey! → https://www.miahemstad.com/letter 💕 Start your self-care journey for FREE with my 4B Self-Care Framework Mini Course!

🎧 About this Episode
No, you’re not crazy. Self-care overwhelm IS a REAL thing. I used to ask my audience with a poll once a week if they experienced overwhelm whenever they would get time to themselves, and the answer was always a resounding “YES!” I mean, why wouldn’t we feel overwhelmed with what to do with free time when we are so used to being so externally focused on what everyone and everything else needs from us? How are we supposed to be good at knowing and meeting our own needs when we rarely get the opportunity to practice? That’s what I’m unpacking in this week’s episode. I’m sharing an easy-to-remember and easy-to-practice framework that will help you overcome that overwhelm and finally start using your precious time and energy on actually taking care of yourself in the way that you need!

🎧 About this Episode
Burned out or getting close to burning out? This time of year is what I call "the rapid decline." Between back-to-school, all the holidays, and end-of-year work deadlines, there is very little time and bandwidth for moms to take care of ourselves. This episode is the first in a 5-episode series where I will be teaching you tools that you can use to build your own anti-burnout, self-care toolkit.

🎧 About this Episode I saw Beyoncé in the flesh!!! EEEEEEKKKK!!! It was just as life-changing as you can imagine, but what was even more spiritually-shifting and transformative was the journey to get there. And I'm not talking about the flight from Portugal to London. I'm talking about my own No Longer Last Journey where I have been doing the inner work and healing needed in order to overcome paralyzing guilt and finally believe that MY DESIRES MATTER and that MY DREAMS ARE WORTHY of being fulfilled even though it's UNCOMFORTABLE. I was able to move through that discomfort and truly enjoy myself on this trip! This episode dives into what that healing process looks like and how you too can learn how to fulfill your desires without guilt or shame.

About this Episode
It's been 3 months since I've posted to the pod. A lot has been going down for me, but what's new? Life can be challenging, and navigating those challenges alongside depression, PTSD, work, and motherhood has been particularly tough; but we're here, we're standing, and we're ready to keep going. I'm so excited to provide a life update for you in this episode and to unpack how shame causes us to run away from the things we actually want in life; how routines can support us through our most difficult seasons; and how defining enough can release us from the comparison cycle so that we can truly feel content and at peace with what we have. Let's dive in!

About this Episode
After 5 years of creating on Instagram and building such an awesome community, I'm leaving the platform. This has not been an easy decision for me, but I had to be honest with myself about the fact that my mental health is negatively effected by the platform. I wanted to dedicate an episode to talk about why I'm leaving and to also open up a conversation about making tough decisions for the sake of protecting your mental health. I think this is especially important now that we're in the holiday season, and a lot of us might be tempted to just forget about our own needs for the sake of "keeping the peace" even though that means being at war within ourselves. I think this episode is going to help you acknowledge what's really hurting you in your life, and it's going to encourage you to walk away from those harmful things so that you can make space for better things to come to you.

About this Episode
I'm a huge advocate for journaling because it was one of the tools I used after I had to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in order to stay alive. Journaling on some random printer paper once a week helped me get to know my needs again and encouraged me to take tiny steps to fulfill them.
3 years later, I created a program to help other women experience the powerful effects journaling can have on their lives. Nikita Burks-Hale is one of the women who joined the program, and now you get to hear her experience with journaling on this episode!
Get ready to be inspired to journal in a way that changes your life too! Perhaps journaling is the missing link you've needed on your No Longer Last Journey. Happy listening!

About this episode:
The self-help space doesn’t offer much in terms of building habits alongside the demands of motherhood and the struggles of being neurodivergent or living with mental illness.
In this week’s podcast, I share 3 tips that can help you leave masculine-drive, self-help advice behind and start creating supportive self-care rituals alongside the demands and needs of your everyday life.

I've struggled with chronic exhaustion and fatigue since 2013 — partly because of PTSD and grind culture, and partly because of the challenges of early motherhood — and it's really had a negative impact on every area of my life. Over the last two months, I've been feeling better than I have in YEARS, and I share my journey of getting to where I am today.
