This week we're discussing Self-Care When You Have No Margin.
You know that feeling when someone suggests you take better care of yourself and your first reaction is a laugh? Not because it's funny, but because the suggestion feels completely disconnected from the day you're actually living. You already know you need it. You've thought about what it could look like, the morning routine, the workout, the quiet moment that doesn't get hijacked by something else. The knowing has never been the problem. The gap between knowing and actually pulling it off is what this conversation is about.
Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, co-host Elizabeth Cole, a single parent, and contributor Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent, get honest about what self-care actually looks like when the margin is gone. Not the aspirational version. The real one, shaped around guilt and perfectionism and the particular exhaustion of being the only adult on call. Between the three of them, they've lived every version of this, and what they bring to this conversation is practical, grounded, and genuinely useful.
