When you were a kid you had this flare of greatness. You wanted to do something big with your life, maybe you wanted to be a famous actress, chef, artist, or singer. But then as the years went on, that hope for the future faded. You had kids and now that feeling is completely lost. Every now and then you still get that little spark of excitement. But then it fades as you get overwhelmed with the many tasks you must handle as a parent. Today on The Genuine Mom Club Podcast, I chatted with Kate House from The Live by Design Podcast. We chatted about this motherhood journey, finding joy and cultivating gratitude while finding yourself through it and so much more. Kate is a wife, a mommy of two sweet boys, and she has a huge passion for helping others live a life of intention through joy, gratitude, and health.

Would you say that you are hardest on yourself? Others can make mistakes, you forgive them. But when it comes to your mistakes, you feel great defeat, anger, and frustration when you’ve messed up? Do you feel like other people deserve great things, but you are undeserving?

These are just a few symptoms of low self-esteem. And it’s no small thing. When you don’t take care of physical conditions, it causes more serious problems throughout your body and mind.

| 11 Jun 2021 | Let's Be Practical With Self-Care | 00:22:17 | |
Self Care. A term that is being used high and low these days. Everyone and their mother are saying “Self-care! Make sure you get yourself care! You need to make yourself a priority.” I see all these cute little cliché posts on Instagram about self-care with perfectly placed graphics that show a lady with a face mask, or maybe nails getting painted. But unfortunately, that self-care that people are so genuinely yelling from the roof tops has now become another stressor under a new mom’s skin. When I had kids (not that long ago), I remember everyone giving me advice “Make sure you sleep when baby sleeps.” “Leave the laundry and cleaning, you can get to it later.” And while these are all beautiful nuggets of wisdom, they aren’t always practical. So, what are some practical ways to get that self-care and self-love that you so desperately need? Listen in for some fantastic ideas!
