In this episode, we explore the importance of mothers taking intentional time away from home, not as an escape, but as an act of self-care and renewal.  After taking a weekend retreat, we unpack why these moments of pause are vital for our identity and balance in motherhood. Jasmin shares her personal journey of grounding in herself and facing the judgments that came with choosing time apart, while Lena reflects on how difficult it was to step away for the very first time after 19 years of motherhood. Through these honest stories, we remind moms that stepping away doesn’t mean stepping out of love; it means returning more grounded, more present, and more whole.
