Empowered Summit - Talk on Mental Health and Self Care for Single Moms
There can sadly still be stigma and negativity attached to being a single mother, something Amy realised when she had her daughter. She is incredibly thankful for the day she became a mother but she has struggled to navigate the label of single mother and in this episode she talks about why maintaining good mental health and self-care has helped her succeed.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Accepting and understanding that self-care is something that is your responsibility and priority is key. People wrongly assume self-care is selfish, it isn’t, it is necessary.
Amy recognised that being happy and accepting of herself is the only way she would be the mother she needed to be for her daughter. In order to do this she needed to be able to support herself financially and mentally.
Give your body what it needs physically as well as mentally. Eat well and drinking enough water are two key areas that have a massive impact on how you feel an therefore you live your life.
BEST MOMENTS
“I love her with all my heart, I’m so grateful she made me a mother when she was born”
“What you have in your cup is yours, it’s no one elses, then if your cup is overflowing you have something to offer to others”
“Give yourself grace when something doesn’t go to plan”
