16 \\ GIRL CHAT: The Mental Load of Motherhood, Seasons of Hard, Winter Skincare, Book Recs, Therapy Stigmas, Health Changes Even Through the Holidays, Lemon Water, & More!

In this Being Better Everyday podcast episode, I wanted to just get behind the mic today and talk about a range of topics including the challenges of motherhood, carrying the mental load of motherhood, the stigma around therapy, my health journey, and my love for reading. I share my experiences of balancing a corporate job, a design business, and motherhood, and the importance of structured date time with my husband. I also talk about my interest in holistic medicine and my commitment to a healthier lifestyle eliminating gluten and dairy even through the holidays.  I am sharing about the importance of self-care, especially during winter, and recommend some of my favorite books.    This episode is meant to be a light hearted listen and I hope that something served you well!
