Prioritizing sick kids when you're needed at work is a STRUGGLE. Don't worry mamas, I feel your pain. We can't change the incontrollable, but we can start now and create some mental boundaries to keep ourselves sane in the process.
Last week we talked about taking control of our health. In this process I have come to realize that increased cortisol could be playing a big factor in the way I feel day to day. Thus- mission lower cortisol. Today I am updating you on my first 9 days of being more intentional about lowering my cortisol and improving my mood, energy, and overall health.
GO LISTEN TO EP.9 If you want to know more about how heightened levels of cortisol appear in the body and how to lower cortisol.

Today I will be sharing the deets about eczema. What is it? What causes it? How do you treat it? What should you avoid? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- what finally saved us from Cal's severe flare-ups after failed solution after failed solution left us feeling so helpless.
If you have any loved ones who could benefit from this episode please share! Hopefully what helped us will help someone else as well!

Any mamas out there have little ones struggling with eczema? It's hard, you feel awful for your babies, and you want to take it away. You're not alone. Here is part 1 of our journey (so far) with severe eczema.
If you know any mamas who are struggling with this please feel free to share. <3
On this episode we are going to talk about the increased pressure mamas feel around "B-List Holidays". Just breathe mamas, you're all doing a great job whether you like to be extra on these days or keep it low key. Embrace our differences in choices and stand firm in whatever they are.
Let's talk labels. The kind we choose for ourselves. Can you relate to this naturally occurring habit? Share with me all the boxes you fit yourself into!
