Imperfect Self-Care

Published on: 24th March, 2024

Is there such a thing as perfect self-care? Jill and Linda wonder if this dream exists as they cradle their anxieties, lack of sleep, and think about their imperfections as they chat about:        

  • Sleep. The realities and imperfections of sleep as mamas. 
  • Understanding what works for us and our kids, us as new mums, entrepreneurs and more.
  • Boundaries for unhealthy self-care such as binge or comfort eating, over-indulging, drinking more alcohol, taking too much time for yourself during work time slots.
  • Letting self-care drop off the calendar/routine because...life.
  • Being flexible and shifting expectations - original plan shift to modified plan.
  • Feelings we get when it's not 'perfect' and the way we anticipated it to be in our heads.
  • Some funny moments in our day which just highlight our mucked-up ways and how scattered we can feel.

We would love to hear from you, it always encourages us to know you are listening along!

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.
