In this Supermom Short, Amy Grace guides listeners through a quick, meaningful self-check-in using her HEART framework—an easy five-step method to help moms pause, reflect, and care for themselves intentionally.
Each letter in HEART represents one area to gently assess:
H – Health: How is your body feeling? Are you tired, hungry, or tense? Take a few moments to stretch, hydrate, and rest.
E – Emotions: What feelings are showing up for you right now? Naming emotions reduces stress and models emotional regulation for your kids.
A – Awareness: What’s taking up most of your mental space? Doing a “brain dump” or simplifying your to-do list can help you focus.
R – Relationships: Who have you connected with this week? Reach out to someone who fills your cup—it makes a real difference.
T – Take Action: What’s one small, tangible thing you can do today to nurture yourself? Even five minutes of mindfulness, music, or movement counts.
Amy emphasizes that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Research from the Journal of Family Psychology (2022) shows that moms who check in regularly on their well-being report lower stress and higher resilience.
Key Takeaways
Self-care can be simple. A few minutes of awareness each day can make a big impact.
Naming emotions helps regulate them. It’s not weakness—it’s modeling emotional intelligence for your kids.
Your body tells the truth. Listen to it before it burns out.
Connection matters. Social support reduces isolation and boosts maternal mental health.
Tiny actions lead to transformation. A five-minute walk or pause for breath can shift your entire day.
