The sisters are chatting about self-care! This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure statement for more information.
In today’s episode, the sisters are joined by good pal Vanessa Wright – an amazing, dedicated homeschool mama who is also great at making self-care a part of her routine.
The trio chat why we need self-care more than ever when things are hard, and why it is NOT selfish.
They share how to replenish ourselves in small, busy mom-size increments and what to do if you feel like you are running on empty.
Pour yourself a hot coffee or tea, put your feet up for a bit, and listen in – you deserve a minute, mama!
