If you’re anything like me, self-care has been the last thing on your mind at times. Between taking care of my family, managing doctor’s appointments, therapies, and everything else... It often felt like there was no room for me. Sound familiar? Over the last 7.5 years, I’ve realized something life-changing: when I don’t take care of myself, I can’t show up fully for my kids—or anyone else. And I know I’m not alone in this. If you’re feeling burned out, it’s not because you’re failing—it’s because you’re human. But the truth is, you deserve care too.
Why Self-Care is Essential, Not Selfish:
Do you roll your eyes when someone tells you you just need more "Self- Care"? I get it, it is pretty cliche these days and often feels very unrealistic in our daily lives. I used to think that taking time for myself was selfish, especially when so many people depended on me. I think that is was the narrative that was around when I first became a Mom. Everyone else comes first, and then me. And if you are like me, maybe that is also how you were raised. That's all you know. But I’ve learned the hard way after years of burnout that when I invest in my health and wellbeing—whether it’s taking a few moments to breathe, getting a workout in, or just stepping outside for fresh air—I become a better version of myself. And that’s what I want for you, too. Your well-being matters.
Small Steps That Lead to Big Change:
If you’re overwhelmed, the idea of “self-care” might sound like a luxury you can’t afford. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. Start small. Maybe it’s 10 minutes of stretching in the morning or a quiet moment with your coffee. These small moments add up to keep our tanks filled and not depleted. The key is consistency, not perfection. Our community will be here to encourage you to find what works for you and make it a part of your daily routine. It's really about listening to that inner dialogue and reframing these beliefs of what it means to show up for ourselves.
Creating Lasting Habits in a Supportive Environment:
It’s easy to quit on ourselves when life gets tough. I’ve done it before—so many times. But what changed everything for me was having a community that didn’t let me give up. I want to offer you the same support. Together, we’ll work on building habits that last, even in the face of the daily chaos of motherhood. You’re not in this alone. Research shows that you that 86% of people who shared their progress with a friend achieved their goals, compared to 43% of those who didn't. By informing the people around you about the goal you wish to achieve, you are inherently creating a positive form of peer pressure for yourself that pushes you to see your goal to the end!
