Why Putting Yourself First Makes You A Better Mom


Listen Later

Hey mama, this one’s a heart-squeezer. We’re diving deep into why we have to put ourselves on the list—and not just as an afterthought. If you’ve ever felt like the Giving Tree (don’t get me started on the issues with The Giving Tree!)—cutting away pieces of yourself until there’s nothing left—this episode is going to hit home.

I’m sharing how so many of us moms have been conditioned to overgive, people-please, and disappear from our own lives. But that stops here. Because when we put ourselves on the list (yes, at the top, babe!), we’re not just doing it for us—we’re doing it for our families, our kids, and our futures.

Let’s unpack the pressure to be “good” by always saying yes, the guilt culture loves to throw at us, and why filling our own cups first changes everything—including our weight loss journey. This is your permission slip to prioritize joy, fun, and delicious dopamine today.


You’ll hear all about:

  • How the Giving Tree story parallels the burnout cycle so many moms live in
  • Why putting yourself last leads to emotional eating and resentment
  • How to identify where you're disappearing in your own life
  • What delicious dopamine is—and why you need it
  • The small daily shifts that help you fill your cup (and stop the pantry raids!)


If this message is resonating and you're ready to stop putting yourself last, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience. It's where we make this stuff *real*—with coaching, community, and all the tools you need to lose weight for the last time. Head over to lauraconley.com/lose to get started.


Let’s make “self-care” a daily essential—not a once-a-year bubble bath.
