Does the term "self care" make you scratch your head and leave you confused and almost feeling frustrated?
When you hear the term, it might make you think of the most selfish, self-centered woman you know...or it may cause you to laugh outloud, because, WHO IN THE WORLD ACTUALLY HAS TIME FOR SELF CARE?!
Well, in this episode of Mom on the Fringe, I talk through my own journey in discovering what self care looks like and does not look like for me personally. I share how appealing the secular viewpoint was for me, but also how much the literal interpretation of it threw me into a tailspin and caused me to become an insatiable, unbearable monster who seemed to never get enough ME TIME.
Throughout the episode, I share contents of the book "A Mother's Guide to Self Renewal" by Renee Peterson Trudeau, and I compare its contents with that of the book, "Loving the Little Years" by Rachel Jankovic. Spoiler Alert: My head loves the first book, but my heart knows the second one is actually the way I want to live out my years as a mother to 3.
Stay tuned for the next episode of Mom on the Fringe! So glad you're here! You can find me and more information about Mom on the Fringe on my website, as well as Facebook and Instagram.
