Escapism Vs. Self Care

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Self care for moms can seem like an oxymoron with the everyday demands of modern motherhood combined with any additional challenges of the current season.

 

This is why it's so common to want an escape from life to feel rejuvinated. The problem isn't the escape as much as it is what happens when you come back to the same life that created the need for the escape in the first place.

 

In this episode, you'll learn alternative ways to approaching self care as a mom with a full (and seemingly very busy) life so you need fewer escapes and can "fill your own cup" (as the saying goes) from the inside out.

 

You'll discover how rethinking self care during this season of life is imperative to your own happiness and well-being.
