Episode 56: Self-Care in Marriage

We hear "self care" everywhere… but what if most of us are getting it wrong—especially in our marriage? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story from early motherhood when I was overwhelmed, depleted, and unknowingly asking my husband to take care of me in ways that weren't actually supportive. Because here's the truth: self care isn't the occasional vacation or girls' night—it's the small, daily ways you care for yourself in the middle of your real life. And when you learn how to truly care for yourself—physically, emotionally, and mentally—you stop showing up in your marriage from depletion… and start showing up as a whole, grounded woman. This episode will help you: Rethink what self care actually is Break out of the parent/child dynamic in your marriage Learn how to support yourself without outsourcing your needs Create a more connected, equal partnership If you want a marriage that feels supportive, energizing, and deeply connected… it starts with how you care for you. — If you love what you hear, start with my free Partnership Reset Guide—a gentle place to reconnect with yourself and your marriage. 💗 https://www.brookesann.com/guide Or if you're ready to take the next step and come to my free online workshop May 6 8am PT/9am MT/10am CT/11am ET: Stop Feeling Like A Crazy Person In Marriage sign up HERE
