Mother’s Day is around the corner and I thought it’s a great time to remind us all of the importance of self-care- not only on Mother’s Day but EVERY DAY. That is why I invited Anna Trefel who is a Health Coach that specializes in transformational coaching and low-tox living.

In this conversation, we talked about the importance of changing our mindset about self-care.

For many moms, the thought of self-care evokes thoughts of vanity and selfishness. Many of us walk around in the world feeling guilty if we prioritize ourselves, if we go out with friends and leave the kids at night time, if we go on a vacation only with our spouse or if we set a boundary around our time to meditate, take a walk, practice yoga, or exercise.

Anna said a sentence that stood out to me in the interview: We are all willing to die for our kids, But are we willing to LIVE for them?

Take that in for a second!

The shift we want to make is adopting a new belief that I as a mother am Worthy of taking care of myself! I am the foundation of my house! And that foundation needs to be strong and stable so I can hold all my family's needs. I come first!

I always say, and I want to repeat this now, our kids will become who we ARE! Whatever we wish for them, however, we want them to be in this world we have to be ourselves!

If we want our girls to become powerful women that know their boundaries and put themselves first we have to be that mother to them.

If we want our boys to respect their woman, support her in taking care of her needs, and also know that their needs matter and they need to prioritize themselves then we need to model that to them.

We are not doing anyone good by neglecting ourselves!

It’s our responsibility as parents and as leaders of our families to put ourselves first and take care of ourselves!
