In this episode of “Everything’s Messy Podcast” I'm joined by Tessa Watson, a fellow mom and author hailing from the UK. We dive into the chaotic yet rewarding journey of motherhood and the quest for self-care amidst the chaos. Tessa shares her own messy tale of navigating the tumultuous waters of motherhood while trying to hold onto her sense of self. We delve into the inner dialogue that constantly reminds us moms to prioritize self-care, despite the never-ending to-do lists.
We get real about the struggle of losing ourselves in the all-consuming role of motherhood and the societal pressures that come with it. But Tessa reminds us that it's okay to redefine what motherhood means to us individually, and to make choices that honor our own well-being. We tackle the infamous mom guilt head-on, exploring how it sneaks into our minds whenever we dare to put ourselves first. But hey, taking care of ourselves isn't selfish—it's essential for our sanity and our ability to show up as the best versions of ourselves for our kids.
And speaking of showing up, Tessa spills the beans on her book, "Rejuvenated Moms Make Happy Kids," and the passion behind penning it. It's all about empowering fellow moms to prioritize self-care and find joy amidst the chaos. But it's not just about us—self-care sets the stage for our little ones too. We chat about the importance of modeling healthy habits for our kids and how it shapes their own views on self-care and independence.
Oh, and did I mention Tessa's venture into opening a bilingual nursery? Yep, we go there too, discussing the cognitive benefits and the sheer joy of exposing young minds to different languages and cultures. And of course, we wrap up with some golden nuggets on finding that elusive balance between self-care, family, and personal growth. Because let's face it, life's messy, but it's also beautiful, especially when we take a moment to care for ourselves amidst the chaos.
