Greetings to my queens, single moms. As single moms, taking care of yourself can be extremely challenging. Moms juggle multiple responsibilities, including your most important role, raising your children, followed by managing your household tasks, working and simply living your life.  It is very, very easy to neglect your own needs and well-being in the midst all of you need to accomplished.  However, prioritizing self-care is CRITICAL for your mental and physical health, as well as your ability to be effective and present for your children. With all this in mind. I developed this important episode series on self-care.  Keep this in mind, taking care of yourself IS NOT selfish, but essential for your OVERALL well-being and for your ability to be the best mother you can be.
