BONUS: The Power of Me-Time (and How to ...

Rebecca Olson
About this episode

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm diving into one of the most overlooked (but most essential!) priorities for sustainable work-life balance: me time. If you've ever said, “I don’t even know what I’d do with time to myself,” this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why taking time just for you isn’t selfish or indulgent—it’s necessary. I share real stories from working moms who pushed past guilt, redefined what fills them up, and started living more joyfully. And I offer the mindset shifts and tools to help you do the same. 

Topics in this episode:

  • Why me time is not optional—it's foundational to balance 
  • What real "me time" looks like (and what it isn’t
  • How cultural messages push moms to de-prioritize themselves 
  • The guilt working moms feel—and how to move past it 
  • Real stories of women choosing joy over efficiency
