Do you feel self-care is part of the answer but completely confused about how to fit it in? Are you trying to ‘lean in’ so hard that you’re worried you will fall over? Society sends us mixed messages. Throw in a pandemic and having a sustainable schedule with a family and career feels particularly elusive. I want to walk you through setting better boundaries to help you achieve the life you want to live.
From this chat you will:
- Understand the framework for how Moms prioritize so that you can better prioritize your life
- Discover how setting (and maintaining) personal boundaries is the antidote to ‘overdo and never done'
