Making Space: Why self-care isn’t a dirty word

Episode 6: Making Space: Why self-care isn’t a dirty word

Hint: It’s not about doing more.

Welcome to Episode 6 of this 12-part series created to bolster parents and caregivers. We hear all the time that we have to put on our own oxygen mask first… but we’re really bad at taking that advice! When burnout isn't an option, you need to find ways to care for yourself in the midst of the swirl. Incorporating life-giving options for self-care into your day will help you show up for your kids. We’ll take a deep dive into mindfulness and learn the technique of ‘stapling’ from Caroline Welch. We’ll also poll some of our parents on their favorite self-care moments—it can be as simple as a glass of sweet tea!
