When was the last time you stopped to consider your own needs without worrying about someone else? I bet I know the answer, and it's precisely why I'm sitting here on the floor in my makeshift podcast studio to talk about this important subject. As a mom, it can be hard to even consider putting your needs first because it almost sounds selfish, but I want to change this mindset in you and me (because I struggle with it too). In today’s episode, I’m sharing the reasons why you need to take a moment to put yourself first. I explain how when you neglect your own needs you’re sending a signal that you value yourself less, and why if you don’t share what you’re feeling no one is going to understand because they cannot read your mind. Being a selfish mom is the best thing you can do for yourself and your kids to be the best mom ever, and in this episode, I explain why it matters and what you can do!
