The Evolution of Mom episodes
- #5 - Community
Today’s a hard topic because as humans, we are programmed to be social beings and we are taught to fit in. So having to sit down and reflect on who you have to be around is painful. It is part of “growing up” to ask, “Are the people around me helping me or hurting me?” Evaluating the people around you is a big part of self-care; whether they are taking you to your next level or pulling you down instead. Having to let go of people who aren’t influencing you to better yourself might sound selfish, but these are those moments when you are allowed to make selfish decisions for yourself.

Today’s topic is something most moms are having a hard time doing because of guilt. Unfortunately, moms are wired to think that self care is a form of selfishness and that doing so will make us “bad moms”. Thankfully it’s one of those things that we get wrong. In today’s episode, we talk about self care and how important it is especially for moms. It’s just a matter of understanding your needs and figuring out how to incorporate that into your life. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Show notes:
[1:49] Recognizing self care and what we need
[4:21] From selfish to selfless
[6:40] Breathing is valuable in self care
[10:00] Favorite forms of self care
[13:20] Don’t take on too much at once
[15:53] What does self care look like for you?

The state of overwhelm is one of those things that moms are constantly being pulled into, but it's also something that women find difficult to recognize. More often than not, we are already at the breaking point before recognizing the state we are already in. There’s so much stigma around this topic and so we wanted to open a discussion about overwhelm in today’s episode. Remember that at the end of the day what’s best for the people around you is for you to NOT pour from an empty cup.

[1:11] Overwhelm, a state of survival mode
[2:46] Reactive state when you’re overwhelmed and tea kettle analogy
