Copy & Paste Self-Care: When Routine Helps and When It Doesn’t

Published on: 15th June, 2025

Wouldn’t it be nice if self-care came with a simple shortcut—copy, paste, repeat? In this episode, Jill and Linda explore why that almost works and where it totally falls apart. They talk about what happens when your favorite self-care routines suddenly don’t fit, why the same thing that helped last month might not help today, and how to adapt (without giving up). With real talk about parenting schedules, hill climbs, bare feet in the grass, and the simple power of grounding, this one’s for every mom who’s ever thought, “Why isn’t this working anymore?”

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why some self-care routines lose their impact over time
  • How to shift old routines to fit new seasons of life
  • The difference between giving up and adapting
  • When “default” self-care can still serve you
  • How parenting logistics make self-care tricky—but not impossible
  • The hidden power of grounding, rest, and micro-adjustments

Your self-care doesn’t have to look the same every day—or every season. If the old routine isn’t working, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re evolving. And if you need a reset, revisit your simple go-to list or let us help you build one. Just don’t quit on yourself. Adapt, soften, shift—and keep going.

Until next week – we hope you can unstuck your muck!

About the Podcast

Mucked Up My Self-Care Podcast
Real, Raw and Unedited Conversations From Two Global Moms/Mums
A podcast for moms about the real, raw, and unscripted perspectives of guilt-free self-care by two moms across the globe. This unedited podcast is real life and their personal experiences told in friendly conversation style. Advocating for all moms who have mucked up their self care.

There are so many others out there that aren't successfully solving the real problem of trying to figure out what self-care is. We want to bring to light the reality of what self-care can look like for moms who struggle to fit it in, don't know what will work for them, and the ways that it hasn't worked. We want to have conversations about the guilt we feel when we are pressured to mother ourselves when we don't know how and aren't given the support to in our society today.
