This episode goes out to all the moms/business women/caregivers who always put everyone else first and suffer from something we all know well “MOM GUILT”.

No matter how much we do for our children, how much love we give we will never feel like we are doing enough.

In truth the fact we have guilt at all shows that we are good moms and they we love them dearly.

Key Take aways

1. The fact that you have guilt means you are a good mom

2. To the woman who is going full out working and full out as a mom

a. when at work be 100% at work. When at home be 100% at home.

b. Set aside 30 to 60 minutes daily to be 100% with the kids. Then you won’t have to feel guilty when you can’t be on occasion

3. To the mom is exhausted, ill or just burnt out. I see you. Please remember to do something for you. Self-care is not selfish. It shows your children it is just as important to take care of themselves as it is others. You cannot pour from an empty cup.

4. To all moms allow yourself some alone time. If that means setting the alarm to get up 30 minutes before every-one else then do it. It will be worth it.

Episode Notes

Self-care practice is something that many people talk about. From it being as little as new mommas taking a 15 minute shower to getting a mani/pedi. First off a shower is not Self-care in the sense of filling your cup. It is common practice that we all need for hygiene purposes.

We all know we need to practice it but we often think of as more of a luxury and therefore it gets put on the back burner.

In this episode I explain WHY it is more of a necessity and such needs to be prioritized. I will also explain the 5 different types of Self-care we need.

Key Takeaways:

· Self-care is a purposeful engagement in activities that promote healthy functioning and well-being.

· Types of Self-care

How many times a day do you find yourself making an excuse for why you can’t do something. I am here to say that those excuses are often lies to ourselves. We are lying out of fear of the unknown, fear of telling the truth or fear of something else.

Today I share one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves, why we do it and how we can overcome it.

· To Busy

· Truly don’t want it

· We don’t think we deserve it

· Can’t afford it

· Not ready for it

· It scares me

How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution that didn’t come true?  From I will lose 20 lbs to I will eat healthier, or this is the year I land my dream job.

Here is why resolutions don’t work.

· We fail to set realistic goals

· Don’t put a plan in place to achieve the goals

· We don’t make it part of our routine or create a habit

· We don’t have the support we need

· We don’t track our goals.
