Once self-care became a habit, again. . .it was pretty much more of the same. . .
I was able to take a deep breath. . . Look around. . .and figure out what my body and mind needed that day.
I’m so thankful for that journey, because it prepared me for an unexpected transition in our family.
Some days are harder than others, but I was able to transition from a more loving place. If I had not already prioritized self-care, our transition would have been much harder.
How has self-care helped you?!
I’ve taken more time than I wanted to start sharing resources. . .But, I’ve wanted to make sure and listen to, read, and research before sharing.
Because podcasts are sooo easy to listen to, this is where I’ve started!!
Some time ago, I asked some friends for some recommendations on resources to share for anxiety, depression, and motherhood.
And they shared some real gems.
These are the two I’ve started listening to:
Untangle:

This podcast is a great resource, when it comes to mental health. The episodes in this podcast talk about the science of meditation and the benefits it has on our bodies.
Natal:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/natal/id1508013775?i=1000479392069
This podcast tells stories of black women and their experiences of pregnancy. It is super informative. I’ve learned so much.
What I love about these two podcasts, are that they share stories.
I firmly believe that sharing our stories not only brings us healing, it brings hope and healing to others who are experiencing things we have walked through.
I hope that you will enjoy these podcasts.
