On this episode of Better Together, Maria discusses the need for 'self care' when it comes to caretaking.  Too often caretakers, and Moms especially, experience guilt when they partake in any act of self care. Sadly, the guilt can be spurred on by those around us and even loved ones who shame us for not doing/being enough.  Maria discusses the crucial need for self care and the means in which to mute those around you who are making you believe otherwise.  Maria also discusses using the Peloton app for home workouts and whether it's worth the 40 dollars a month. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/parenting/self-care-moms.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
