Description

Do you ever feel guilty when you crave alone time as a mom—like it’s selfish to step away, rest, or do something just for you? You’re not the only one, and today we’re digging into why that guilt shows up and how to move past it.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

  • Why taking care of yourself is not selfish—and what the Bible actually says about it.
  • The hidden cost of neglecting your own needs (and how it affects your family).
  • How to apply the five love languages to yourself so you can feel recharged and loved.
  • 15 practical ways you can care for yourself as a mom, even with little kids around.

You matter too, mama—and when you take care of yourself, everyone in your home benefits.
