Episode 50 - Selfcare isn’t selfish with Dr Renee White

Prioritizing your health and happiness is the greatest gift you can give your children.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Renee White to talk about why mothers must start prioritizing their wellness – and how we can do it alongside caring for our kids. This episode is full of insight, inspiration, and practical tools to help you shift your mindset and start putting yourself on the list.

Dr Renee and I chat about:

• Why mothers need to prioritize their own wellness
• How to care for ourselves while caring for our kids
• The ways we level up when we become mothers
• Why prioritizing our wellness is essential to parenting and how to start
• The role of emotional intelligence in motherhood
• How emotional intelligence can make parenting easier (and more fulfilling)
• How to raise emotionally intelligent children
• The power of saying sorry
• Letting go of the supermom myth — for everyone’s benefit
• Why doing motherhood alone isn’t sustainable (or necessary)
• The importance of reconnecting with what lights you up — and how it benefits your kids
