When Our Self-Care is Broken

Often, we can feel 'broken'. Sounds a bit dull right? Especially when there are a lot of messages out there telling that us that we aren’t broken at all. Yet amidst the emotions, hormones, rage, PND, and pressures of parenting…it can feel like we’re mucking up left, right, and centre. What does this mean when it comes to self-care? How can we fix ourselves, or at least increase our ability to deal with the overwhelm? Jill and Linda are curious to know if it is possible so we explore this topic further in this conversation and talk about:

• Hitting rock bottom and making it through to the other side, with an expansion and growth to boot!
• Open and honest vulnerability about how we sometimes struggle to fit in our own self-care time.
• Using our calendar and planning to stack out some non-negotiables.
• Overplanning mode and falling into the mode of busy-ness and the feeling of doing something.
• When things don’t work the way we plan and the resilience we can build as part of that journey and acceptance of frustration or upset that it can sometimes cause.

We all can get into a funk and it is common to feel that our self-care is broken.
