from The Health Connection Podcast · host Mari Craig

Episode 27 - Why Looking After Yourself Isn't Selfish When You're a ParentSo many mums are running on empty, putting their children's needs first, their own health last, and somehow wondering why everything feels so hard. This week Amy and Mari have an honest, heartfelt conversation about why looking after yourself isn't selfish - it's ESSENTIAL. And more importantly, how to actually do it within the beautiful chaos of family life. Mari reflects on becoming a mother and how the weight of responsibility for another human being can quietly leave you exhausted, undernourished and depleted… often without you even noticing it's happened. The girls share stories from their 27-day programme. Participants who saw unexpected improvements in energy, mood and PMS symptoms just by focusing on small, achievable changes. It's a good reminder that you don't have to do everything perfectly to feel genuinely better.Your challenge this week: identify one small thing you've been putting off doing for yourself, and DO IT. Not for anyone else. Just for you. You deserve to be on your own list. Get full access to The Health Connection at thehealthconnection.substack.com/subscribe
