Ep. 35 - Basic Self-Care Exhausted Moms Ignore (But Shouldn’t): How Ignoring Your Needs Impacts Those Around You

In this episode of the Blissfully Bold Podcast, I dive into the real meaning of self-care—beyond bubble baths and face masks. We discuss basic but essential self-care practices, like showering, eating, and getting sleep, especially for new moms. I also emphasize the importance of being kinder to yourself and recognizing the signs of burnout to stop glorifying exhaustion. The way you take care of yourself impacts not just you but those around you. If you struggle with people-pleasing or feel guilty for resting, this episode is for you.
