E8 - Self-care and showing up during tough times
In this deeply personal episode of "Moms, Mats, and Manuscripts," we open up about dealing with the challenges we're facing in our lives right now. Amid these tumultuous times, we have a brutally honest conversation about self-care and showing up for ourselves, even when it feels impossible. We share our non-negotiables during periods of hardship, such as prioritizing physical nourishment by eating regularly, striving for quality sleep, and finding little pockets of time – as brief as 60 seconds – to move our bodies. We explore subtle ways to practice yoga off the mat, and quick tricks to feel more grounded and calm. Join us for an authentic discussion on sustaining self-care when life gets tough.
Don't forget to like, follow, and share our podcast! We'd love to hear your thoughts and questions, and if you have ideas for future episodes, drop us a line.
