Is Putting Yourself First Self-Care?

In theory, a mama’s needs are just as important as everyone else's. Yet, even with this theory in mind, Jill and Linda often find themselves swamped and mucked all the way up when they prioritize themselves. How can we navigate this and what are we doing about it? You can find out what we talk about inside this episode as we discuss:

• The ebbs and flows of neglecting our needs and also when we can prioritize them. How we can do small things like reading when the kids are reading or running alongside their bikes if we’re feeling up to it!
• Routines and rituals that help us put ourselves first.
• Boundary setting and the uncomfortable side of putting limits in place.
• How our core values can change as we become parents. Discovering ourselves again with the changes that are inevitably happening and changes that mean we are not putting ourselves first.
• Some practical things that have helped us along the way.

We agree, that it can be hard to put ourselves first at many times and would love to acknowledge you if you also find it hard.

We would love to hear what you think and any ways that you are taking care of or mucking up your self-care. It always encourages us to know you are listening along!
