In this episode of Next Step Chronicles, we’re diving deep into the connection between self-care and self-worth, especially for moms. We’ll explore how even small acts of self-care—like doing your nails, styling your hair, or wearing your favorite jewelry—can boost your confidence and remind you of your value. I’ll share tips on building a self-care routine that fits into the busiest schedules. Plus, we’ll talk about my book, Powerful You, and how its inspiring stories of courage and resilience can help you embrace your worth and move forward with purpose.

Key Takeaways:

1. Self-care boosts confidence – Taking time for yourself by doing things that make you feel good helps you show up as your best self.
2. Presentation matters, but it’s for YOU – Dressing up, doing your hair, or adding jewelry isn't just about looking good for others; it’s about feeling good within yourself.
3. Moms can build small self-care routines – Even with the busiest schedules, you can fit in quick self-care moments like a face mask, meditation, or a new nail color.
4. Your worth is not defined by your circumstances – If you’ve ever felt undervalued or struggled with self-doubt, know that you are worth taking care of, and you’re not alone.
5. Get inspired by real stories in Powerful You – Discover how six incredible women overcame challenges and reclaimed their power in my book, Powerful You. Let these stories help you find your inner strength.
6. Support a cause that empowers women – Proceeds from Powerful You go to Dress for Success®, an organization that helps women achieve economic independence and build brighter futures.

But here’s something I want to touch on—feeling invisible or undervalued. Have you ever questioned your worth or felt like self-doubt is holding you back? I know so many women, especially moms, can relate. If this speaks to you, check out my book, Powerful You: Stories of Courage, Strength, Desire, and Dreams.
