Part I: Moms Get Sick Too… But We Sure Don't Act Like It

As moms, we're always the ones taking care of everybody else when they get sick – but who takes care of us? In this episode, I share what happened when I got sick and actually let myself rest (for the first time). We talk about how I used to spiral into cycles of guilt, fear, and shame any time I couldn't "keep it all together." We dive into why it's so hard for perfectionist moms to slow down, how to stop equating your worth with your to-do list, and why over-functioning is one of the biggest forms of self-sabotage. Tune in for the unexpected joy of waking up to a house that didn't fall apart without you.   Highlights The mental load of being sick when you're the default parent. Why perfectionist moms struggle to let go of control. What I used to believe about "earning" rest. What changed when I stopped equating rest with being lazy. The ONE sentence I repeat when I feel guilty about resting.   Resources + Links Watch the podcast on YouTube   Follow Us Jenn Shaw Jones - Jennerational Healing Mother Daughter Relationship Coach Become the Mom your Daughter Needs Now @TheJennShawJones Suzanne Storm - The Sparked Mom Helping moms reignite their spark - feel alive, joyful & authentic @TheSuzanneStorm  www.suzannestorm.com
