Why Self-Care Can Trigger Single Parents
This week we're discussing Why Self-Care Can Trigger Single Parents
For many single parents, the idea of self-care doesn't feel like a gift. It can feel selfish, unrealistic, or even triggering when you're already carrying the full weight of responsibility. This conversation explores the complicated relationship single parents often have with self-care, why it sometimes feels like a weapon, why the myths around it can be harmful, and how to redefine it in a way that actually builds resilience.
Today, we cover three main points:
- When self-care gets weaponized
- The myths of self-care
- Redefining self-care for real life
When you've been told to just "take more time for yourself," it can feel dismissive. But when self-care is redefined as everyday disciplines and intentional choices that align with your real needs, it becomes a tool for healing and strength, not shame or guilt.
