In this month’s Village podcast episode, Katie explores self-care through a realistic, preventative lens — one that works inside real life and across every stage of the SMBC journey. From thinking and trying, to early parenting, to long-haul solo motherhood, this conversation focuses on self-care that supports your nervous system, honors your capacity, and doesn’t require crisis, perfection, or hours of free time. You’ll hear reflections on mental, emotional, physical, and social self-care, along with simple practices and perspective shifts designed to help you care for yourself before things feel urgent.
