Self-Care

Nourish your mind, body and soul. Taking time for yourself can be extremely difficult, especially when you are a single mother. We talk about what self-care really means and why it is so important to carve out time or it. By caring for ourselves, we are better equipped to care for others. Our children learn that it is important to value our own self, lessons they take with them throughout life.

Today we are joined by Jenni Garcia - single mom to a beautiful daughter while also managing a successful career in graphic design. After years of watching her own mother put aside her needs for those of her children, Jenni decided that in order to be the mother she wanted to be, she needed to set aside time to her own well-being. She describes how it can be tough but by carving out small amounts of time, as little as three minutes, she has been able to nourish her own soul so that she is better equipped to handle the challenges presented in every day life.

Wendy and Liza provide us with insight into their own challenges with self-care and how they are working toward instilling the practice into their own lives.
