This week we're discussing the Three Things Robbing You of Self-Care

Many single parents are told to "take care of yourself," yet what looks like rest can quietly drain us. Performance disguised as self care, doing everything alone, and endless comparison often leave us more depleted, ashamed, or isolated. Add in escapism, toxic positivity, or rumination, and we miss what our hearts actually need. These patterns matter because they stall healing, strain relationships, and keep us stuck in survival when what we really want is peace, presence, and energy for what matters most.

Today, we cover three main points:

• Three survival mechanisms disguised as self care
• The hidden costs of false self care
• How to tell healthy from harmful

Self care does not have to be fancy to be faithful. Pay attention to what leaves you more present, more connected, and more at ease, and keep choosing that.
