Self Care, Self Growth & Routines for Busy Working Moms

In this episode, we talk about self care and self growth for busy working moms why early bedtimes, realistic routines, and even reality TV can be real self care.

I sit down with Marce; a working woman, wife, and mom to a very busy toddler to talk about self care and self growth for women who are actually living real life. From early bedtimes and simplifying social plans to task stacking and yes watching reality TV as self care this conversation challenges the idea that rest has to be productive or earned.

If you’re a working mom who feels stretched thin, tired of overcomplicating self care, or struggling to rest without guilt, this episode is for you.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

• What realistic self care looks like for moms

• Why early bedtimes can be life changing

• How to create rest without overhauling your life

• Letting go of guilt around “unproductive” rest

• Self growth that fits into busy seasons

🎧 Listen if you’re ready to redefine self care in a way that actually supports your life not drains it.

In this episode, I sit down with a full time working mom to talk about real life parenting hacks, simple routines, managing stress, and raising kids while working full time.

Cheri, is a mom of two (son, 7; daughter, 9), married for 17 years, and currently working as an Education Liaison. We got to talk honestly about raising children while working full-time.

We go beyond surface level advice and get into what actually works for working moms from managing daily routines to navigating the mental load, stress, and pressure that comes with motherhood. Cheri vulnerably shares her experience with miscarriage, anxiety, and the emotional weight many mothers carry quietly while still showing up for their families and careers.

This episode is for moms who are juggling work, parenting, marriage, and their mental health and want real life strategies, not perfection.
