Why you must prioritize yourself, mama
Mama, are you last on your priority list?
Do you make sure everyone and everything else is taken care of before you are?
If you are nodding your head, you are not alone. Prioritizing ourselves as mothers is challenging!
Modern motherhood is not easy and there are so many expectations, pressures, societal norms and practical barriers that get in the way. However, prioritizing yourself is essential. It allows you to show up in your life as the best version of yourself, be there for others, and do great, meaningful work. It is also imperative to your health and well-being.
