  • Self Care Essentials: Janine and Naomi emphasize the importance of self-care as a pillar of recovery. They discuss how setting boundaries and managing self-care is critical, especially for mothers with young children. Self-care isn't just about indulgent activities like bubble baths but includes anything that nurtures and supports well-being during difficult times.

  • Compassion and Patience: Healing is a long process that requires compassion and patience with oneself. The hosts highlight the importance of taking time to discern your safety and the intentions of your partner. Recognizing the difference between numbing out and intentional self-care is crucial.

  • Self Care Myths: Janine and Naomi debunk common myths about self-care:

    • Self-care is selfish: It's essential for your healing and not selfish.
    • Self-care is a one-time event: It’s an ongoing process that needs to be integrated into daily life.
    • Self-care must be expensive or time-consuming: Simple, everyday practices can be effective forms of self-care.
    • Analogies and Tools for Self Care: The hosts use analogies like the airline mask and a three-legged stool to illustrate the importance of balanced self-care. They also recommend tools like the self-care wheel or life balance wheel to help identify areas in your life that may need more focus.

    • Closing Thoughts: Emphasize the importance of modeling self-care for children and setting goals in areas such as spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social aspects of life. The episode concludes with a quote from Kristen Neff on the transformative power of self-compassion.
