#22 - Real Self-Care: When It's Rest, When It’s Resistance, and How to Know
SUMMARY
In this episode, we unpack the layered reality of self-care: the kind that feels good in the moment and the kind that stretches us through discomfort. We explore how real self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and how it can shift with our seasons of life, energy, and emotional needs.
As mothers, we also talk about how hard it can be to carve out time for ourselves, and why honoring what we truly need, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, is essential, not selfish. We share personal tools, practices, and reminders for listening inward and meeting ourselves with compassion and clarity.
