Stay ConnectedListen for coaching on how to care for yourself while mothering. You ARE the right mom for your kids. Motherhood is too important to do alone and too serious to be so serious all the time. You deserve self-care that isn’t hygiene every day. You are a world changer. I am so glad you’re here on Earth.

Self-Care: Look back on early photos from your time mothering. Tell yourself thank you for your radical optimism and hard work.
Family Fun: Have an art hour. Drag out all the art supplies and cover the dining room table or the floor. No phones allowed, just music, and the human characteristics of curiosity and creativity. Use the markers and crayons and stickers and watercolors all at the same time.
You are exactly the right mom for your kids. I am so glad to know you.
Today's Mantra: Life is full of constant changes and motion. Let's notice nature and follow its lead.

Today's Mantra: Sometimes other humans get under our skins-- sometimes it's our partners, our kids, or a stranger on Instagram or the loud talker at the grocery store. Use this practice to offer compassion to yourself and that other human.
