Self care makes you a better mom: Boost your family’s emotional wellness (and reduce that mom anger) with 15 minutes a day

Episode 70 // What do you think about when I say… “self care.” Do you think it’s something selfish? That you’d never have time for it? Is it a buzzword that you’re not really even sure what it means?

 

It is my goal with this podcast that you will love your people well… and a big part of that is loving YOURSELF well. Partly because you matter! But also, let’s be honest, because loving ourselves helps us love others. We can give to our kids when we have the emotional energy to give. We can show patience, kindness, and compassion when we’ve first been filled up ourselves. 

 

And a big part of that is self care. 

 

So that’s what we’re talking about today, friend. What is “self care” and why does it matter? How does it help you AND your family? Is it realistic for a busy mom? Is it appropriate for a Christian woman?

 

Good questions. Let’s dive in.
