In this episode, Dr. Dunni discusses the importance of self-love for mothers. She challenges the societal expectation that mothers should constantly sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, arguing that this mindset can lead to harm and burnout. Dr. Duni shares five key actions for practicing self-love: asking for love and understanding, setting boundaries to create a sacred space, fostering independence in children, staying connected with like-minded individuals, and prioritizing activities that bring joy and well-being. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Dr. Dunni encourages mothers to prioritize their own well-being and embrace self-love as a gift they deserve.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Show yourself love by asking for help and expressing your needs.

• Set boundaries to create your sacred space and prioritize your well-being.

• Stay connected with like-minded individuals who empower and support you.

• Foster independence in your children by giving them opportunities to learn and grow.

• Take time to do something you love that brings you joy and peace.

BEST MOMENTS

"Unless you fill yourself with love, unless you fill your cup, you will not be able to give the love that you perhaps need to give to others." 

"You can ask people, look, I need love too. I need you to consider me too. I need you to recognize the situation I'm in too. I need you to understand me too." 

"Boundary setting has a way of helping you as a mother... it can be very empowering, but also, I have to say, it also can feel like you're being trapped."

"When you create your sacred space by saying no, you are not sacrificing yourself. You are saying yes to you. You're saying yes to your rest. You're saying yes to your peace of mind." 

"We need to foster independence in our children... Let's stop babying our children so much so that they cannot do things for themselves."
