What Happens When You Don't Practice Self-Care?

Published on: 8th December, 2024

The leading question in this episode is a slightly different take. We wonder what happens when we don't practice self-care. Most of us have been there, and Jill and Linda are no exception. While thinking about this question, we talk about several topics including:

  • How we are more likely to engage in distractions and unhealthy behaviours such as scrolling or eating too much ice cream.
  • The energy and bandwidth suck when we don't practice self-care, and on the other side, the energy it can take sometimes to do self-care in the first place.
  • How little things may aggravate you more than they normally do.
  • The example we are setting for our kids when we don't practice self-care.
  • How do our bodies tell us/show us?
  • Sleep and routines, how they affect our attitudes and general outlook when it comes to self-care.

We would love to hear from you. Find find Jill on Instagram @mamaoutspoken and https://www.mamaoutspoken.com/ and Linda @hellolindabonney or https://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.
