Have you ever found yourself wondering who you are beneath the title of 'mom'? Join us, Ashley and Brittni, as we navigate the identity shift that comes with motherhood, and passionately advocate for the sacred practice of self-care. Through laughter, tears, and heart-to-hearts, we share personal stories of feeling lost, the guilt of taking time to oneself, and the challenge of juggling multiple roles while maintaining our mental and physical health.
As millennial moms, we understand the struggle of finding reliable childcare, the difference in children's behavior at home versus school, and the evolving dynamics of the village mentality in parenting. We also delve into our personal experiences with healthcare, the role of TV and podcasts in self-care, and the joys and struggles of finding fulfilling hobbies. Trust us, we're right there with you on the relentless quest for success, all while trying to balance work and personal life.
Wrapping up with a bang, we touch upon rekindling intimacy in relationships post-children, and the importance of discovering individualized self-care practices. To top it off, we discuss the significance of creating a personal sanctuary within the home and trying new things as a form of self-care. This episode is a beautiful blend of personal experiences and practical advice, as we hold space for honest discussions about the highs and lows of motherhood. Tune in, sit back, and prepare to feel seen, heard, and validated!
