We're in the midst of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic... but you don't have to get caught up in the chaos. Today, we're practicing how to find our truest wisdom -- and this is where we find the answers we so desparately seek in times of stress. How can we, as mothers, take care of our families?

Kelly shares why self-care is so important right now, explains how to do self-care in "survival mode," and reminds us of an incredibly useful (but forgotten) source of training for tough times: motherhood.
