Can we ever fully figure out what works for self-care? Afterall, what often works one day might not work on another day. Are the sells of quick fixes adding to our stress? What has worked for these two mamas makes an interesting discussion. We certainly don't think we have all of it figured out much of the time. So, listen in as we open up and share some thoughts together, touching on:

• How we often put ourselves last and focus on the needs of others, making it hard to sometimes remember what we desire, are striving for, enjoy and how we can better care for ourselves.
• Meal prepping, planning and figuring out small ideas that can help towards a smoother dinner time. Including juggling different phases of diets and hormones and needing a simpler approach to phase-specific meals.
• Creating joyful moments and rituals. Practical ideas to integrate joy and encourage a sense of connection with your kiddos at dinnertime.
• Consistency and effectiveness for self-care
• Checking in with our energy leaks. Whats working, what's not? Reflection and vulnerability as we share the load about household effectiveness and figuring it out one step at a time.
• We check back in with our top 5 again. Are they still relevant? How are we taking steps towards our favourite things as a way of figuring stuff out.

We hope you find these insights and strategies helpful as you navigate the beautiful chaos of motherhood. By taking care of ourselves, we set a positive example for our children and ensure we have the energy and enthusiasm to meet life's challenges head-on.
