Why Moms Seek Permission for Self-Care -...

CONNIE ALBERS
About this episode

Why do so many moms feel they need permission to take a shower, drink their coffee while it is still hot, or enjoy a few minutes of peace? 

In this episode, I unpack the growing trend of moms seeking permission for self-care and explain how societal pressures and "mom guilt" have created this exhausting reality.

Whether you're a new mom overwhelmed by endless demands or a seasoned mom struggling to let go of the mental load, this show will leave you feeling understood, encouraged, and ready to ask for help! Self-care isn't just for you, and it isn't selfish--it's essential!

Don't miss this one, Mom!
