In this episode, we dive into the reality of postpartum sleep deprivation and why rest is one of the most important parts of a new mom’s healing journey. You’ll learn what’s actually happening in your body and brain when you’re not sleeping, how it impacts your emotions, and practical, grace-filled ways to prioritize rest even in the middle of newborn chaos. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about giving yourself permission to rest, release guilt, and trust that God meets you in the stillness. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: 💛 Free Postpartum Reset Plan.💌 Let’s connect on Instagram: @itslaurenricks🕊️ Join the Postpartum Collective community

Hey there, busy overachiever mom! I totally get it - juggling all the responsibilities and taking care of yourself can be a real challenge. But guess what? You're ready to make a change and I'm here to help you start. In this episode of "Becoming Aligned", I'm going to talk about something that often gets put on the back burner for moms like you - self-care. Now, before you roll your eyes and think it's just about indulging yourself, let me tell you, it's so much more than that. Self-care is about recognizing your own needs and taking action to fulfill them on a daily basis. It's about redefining what self-care means to you, based on your unique life stage. And most importantly, it's about creating non-negotiables in your daily routine that allow you to prioritize yourself. I know finding time and energy for self-care can feel impossible, but I've got some solutions for you. One of the key things is incorporating movement into your day, even if it's just a quick walk or some stretching. Not only will it boost your energy levels, but it will also help you feel more grounded and centered. Another important aspect is nourishing your body with nutritious food. I know it's tempting to grab something quick and easy, but taking the time to prepare healthy meals will make a world of difference in how you feel physically and mentally. And let's not forget about what you consume mentally. Surrounding yourself with uplifting content, whether it's books, podcasts, or positive social media accounts, can really shift your mindset and help you stay motivated on your self-care journey. Now, I want to offer you something to dive deeper into this topic. I've created a self-paced course that will guide you through the process of prioritizing yourself and finding sustainable self-care practices that work for you. It's a chance to explore and discover what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. So, busy overachiever mom, it's time to shift your mindset and make yourself a priority. You deserve it, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's start this journey together.   ME AGAIN METHOD   Thank you for listening to todays episode!  PS: Leave a review if you found any value in this episode or this podcast!
