25. Your Self-Care Schedule

<p>Working motherhood changes us. We are prepared for some of those changes. Others hit us like a sucker punch.</p> <p>No matter the form of the changes or how welcome or unwelcome they might be, we are the only ones who can make the required adjustments. We have to shepherd ourselves through the changes, which necessitates that we focus and adjust. This is not a job we can outsource! And everyone has a completely unique and individual experience.</p> <p>Episode 25 of the Mother of Success Podcast explains Basic #2 of my Schedule Simplicity Solution for New Working Mothers, which is scheduling time to care for yourself. During this episode, I explain how to choose the activities you will include under this category and what to do as you experiment. Scheduling time to care for yourself is less about pedicures and more about a clear and intentional prioritization of your individual needs during this unique time of life. Instead of trying to do the same things as you did pre-baby, we give you a clear framework for how to adjust to the changes of working motherhood.</p> <p>The podcast from Kara Lowentheil mentioned in this episode is Unf*ck Your Brain Podcast Episode #90 titled “Perfectionist Fantasies + Tomorrow Thinking” and can be found here: <a href="https://unfuckyourbrain.com/perfectionist-fantasies-tomorrow-thinking/">https://unfuckyourbrain.com/perfectionist-fantasies-tomorrow-thinking/</a></p> <p>Connect with Heather:</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://heatherhennessey.com/">https://heatherhennessey.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/heatherhennesseylifecoach/">https://www.instagram.com/heatherhennesseylifecoach/</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/heather.hennessey.180">https://www.facebook.com/heather.hennessey.180</a></p> <p>and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeatherHennesseyLifeCoaching">https://www.facebook.com/HeatherHennesseyLifeCoaching</a></p>
