Listen Later

Feeling stretched thin? Craving peace in the chaos? This episode is your real-time relief. šŸ’›

In one of the most loved and replayed episodes of the Contentment Creator Podcast, Ellen Broin offers practical, no-prep self-care tools that fit into your actual life—not some ideal version of it. If you’re a creative entrepreneur and parent who gives everything to everyone and finds yourself running on fumes, this one’s for you.


✨ We’re talking micro-moment self-care—simple resets that take 5 minutes or less and require zero planning. Whether it’s while the coffee brews or before the school pickup line, these rituals can help you regulate, recharge, and reconnect with yourself—even in the most demanding seasons.


šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to practice self-care with no extra time or energy
  • The micro-moment method and how to use it daily
  • In-the-moment resets like breathwork, stretching, gratitude, and presence
  • How to stack self-care into your daily routines so it actually happens
  • Why small care = sustainable care, and how it creates ripple effects in your home and work

This is CEO care at its most human—because self-care isn’t an indulgence, it’s maintenance. ā¤ļø
