Why self care is non negotiable for Moms
Healthy Living Naturally Empowered self discovery Stress Less Tips Wellness
If there is one thing I have learned in the last four years, it is that self care is not only essential, it is non negotiable.

This made me think about sharing another daily practice I have made a habit over the last year. While I have never been great at sitting to meditate, I have now learned that I can practice one minute a day, just before I go to bed. Why do I do it at night? Because I toss and turn for hours otherwise. If you battle...
