episode 33: the one with the self-care advocate


Listen Later

Hey mamas!

On this episode, our guest Monica Jones (@bymonicajones) gives us her fresh take on the *sometimes* generic and unattainable self-care that’s saturating our social media feeds. 

She tells us what led her to become a cheerleader for millennial moms and how figuring out your identity as a mom and learning to show up for yourself can enable you to better show up for your family. 

We also talk about realistic self-care during every season of motherhood (including pregnancy), creative ways to get alone time, and how sharing our stories helps to feel less alone on this wild motherhood journey.  

Monica also shares the motivation behind Melanated Mamas, her community aimed at amplifying the unseen joy in BIPOC mothers. 

Let’s get to it!
