{15.1} Stop Copying Self-Care That Doesn't Fit In Your Season of Life
Listen on:
Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all, and if you’ve ever tried to copy someone else’s perfect routine only to feel like a failure, this episode is for you.
As mums, our seasons change constantly, from newborn fog to toddler chaos to the school years. And on top of that, the seasons of the year – summer holidays, back to school autumn reset and winter hibernation – have their own impact on our energy and routines.
In this episode, I share how to recognise the season of motherhood you’re in right now and how to choose simple, five-minute actions that actually fit your life. This isn’t about guilt or doing more; it’s about finding the right thing for this moment, and giving yourself permission to adapt as life changes.
In this episode I talk about...
Why copying other people’s self-care routines will never work for you
The two season lenses you need to think about
How your energy naturally rises and dips with school terms and holidays
The one question to ask yourself to make self-care realistic right now
How a 5-minute action can shift your whole day
At the end of this episode, ask yourself “What season am I in?”. Then choose one five-minute action that matches where you’re at today.
