#010 How Smart Self Care Shifts You from Tired to Inspired Mom
A new school year is starting. This is a great time to ask yourself how you want this year to be different.
One way this year can be different is how you take care of YOU. It is very common for moms to feel guilty about taking care of themselves. Moms from all over the country frequently say, “It feels selfish to pay attention to me.” Because of this you want someone else to tell you to rest, or invest in health. This rarely happens, which results in a lot of tired and depleted moms. The problem is when you are exhausted it impacts your parenting, your relationships, and most importantly your life.
