Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 162 W_Jamie McClung

Jamie McClung is focused on making mamas a priority in their own life. Her number one focus is self care because that was the game changer for her own life. "Beauty and health from the inside out" as a mom of 2 boys 17 years apart is a huge part of what she talks about with her clients.  The excuses people, especially mamas, make about how they cannot do self care for whatever reason is something we need to talk about. Jamie became a mama when she was 19 and had him at the age of 20 and although she had a water birth with her midwife at the hospital! She was one of the last birthing people to experience that. Living with her parents, and having a baby at the age of 20, she had great support but she also knew what she wanted from day one. A natural childbirth was in the cards and it was a beautiful experience. Her eldest son is her best friend and since they grew up together, they have always had an amazing bond. She had her second baby 17 years later! Her biggest challenge of being a mama has been mostly being a single mom. Being a single mom of boys can be challenging. Patience is key! She couldn't have been a mom without her mom and when she needed something, the answer was always yes but ultimately her biggest supporter has been herself (and this totally made my day). She took her 11 year old son to his first concert last night and creating memories has been her best mama moments!  It's not our job to take away our kids' lessons.  We have to let them struggle in order to be able to fly. To teach your kids how to take good care of themselves, you have to take care of YOU. She wishes she would have known that worrying about all of the things, especially how other people "see you", aren't important. Take the time to take care of yourself, however that looks for you.
