Split Self-Care When Our Attention is in Several Places at Once

Published on: 2nd June, 2024

It’s school holidays and the overwhelm is the real deal. What happens when we are split between all the things and all the things and more? We turned up and recorded a podcast for you, in all the messy ways. In this episode Jill and Linda chat in between all the things and talk about:

  • Fluctuating energies, whether it be because of hormones, parenting, work, weather, and unpredictability in our lives.
  • Multitasking - do we think it’s possible? Is it good for our brains? Are we lying to ourselves to think that we can do it like we want to?
  • Time management and length of how long things ‘really’ take to get done when our bandwidth is off.
  • Compromises and interruptions – do we need to say any more?
  • How splitting ourselves is sometimes the reality and turning up still necessary.
  • How does split attention reflect on our priorities?

If we could have your attention for just a moment. We have been sharing self-care ideas throughout our episodes and if you would like to find out more, we would love you to reach out to us at muckedupmyselfcarepodcast@gmail.com.

Also, please support and follow along. You can find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and www.mamaoutspoken.com and Linda @hellolindabonney or www.lindabonney.com.

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.
