Self Care isn't Selfish
You can’t pour from an empty cup—and you shouldn’t have to. This space is here to remind you that your care matters too. I really believe self-care should feel doable, decently quick and not overwhelming. These tiny steps help me reset when life feels too loud, too fast, or just too much.
Whether you’ve got 2 minutes or 2 hours (LOL jk), there’s something here to support your nervous system and your soul.

Physical Wellness Must Haves
Taking care of your body doesn’t have to mean hours at the gym or complicated routines. For me, it’s about keeping things simple and doable — moving my body in ways that fit into mom life. These are the tools and habits that help me feel stronger, more energized, and more grounded in my day.
- At-Home Movement – A quick walk around the block, light stretching, or a 10-minute YouTube workout makes all the difference
- Strength Training Basics – If I can squeeze in gym time, I stick to simple lifts (squats, deadlifts, presses) that build strength and confidence
- Yoga Mat – My spot for stretching, low-pressure flows, or even just laying down to breathe
- Foam Roller or Massage Ball – Eases tension from long days on my feet or working at a desk
- Daily Walks – Free, refreshing, and my favorite way to clear my head while moving my body
- At-Home Movement – A quick walk around the block, light stretching, or a 10-minute YouTube workout makes all the difference
