I flipped on the explicit settings for this one because I got a little ~ passionate ~ on this week’s episode.
I’m sharing some advice I wish I gave myself (or received) sooner as a brand new mom. Chores? Can wait. Solo drive to Starbs? Take it. Binge watching your favorite TV show while your sleepy potato newborn naps? Do it (especially because you won’t get to do it with your second kid). The truth is, I didn’t realize how *much* I struggled with the postpartum work-life power balance. I came home from giving birth (h/t to all of my fellow cesarean mamas). I dove right back into my routines and rituals AND expected them to be totally sustainable WHILE running on fumes. Delulu? I was.
If I could rewind time, I would extend myself some more compassion and give myself permission to be a little more carefree. And probably take a proper maternity leave.
Give this week’s episode a listen.
