One of the things I hear most mamas share with me is how hard it is to practice self-care and fill their cup.

They are constantly running households, holding space for meltdowns, doing it all and often burning themselves out in the process.

And I get it because I’ve been there. If you grew up seeing your mom put herself last, it’s gonna take some time to break this inherited unhealthy habit.

Here are my TOO 3 go to things I do (they’re free too) when I can’t find the space, childcare to get a break and fill my cup:

1. Breathe! Yes, 5–5-7! Breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5, and exhale for 7. You can do it anymore and this helps your nervous system calm down so you can feel more grounded, more mental clarity and a boost of energy.

2. Look for 3 things you are grateful for and if you struggle with this one, think of what you would be devasted, heart broken to lose. We take so much for granted when we are not in the best state of mind but thankfully, when we start counting all our blessings, instantly shift our energy.

3. Move your body! Our bodies were meant to move. Play music and dance, or go for a walk, or stretch. There is so much inner wisdom in a body that moves waiting to be released.

Try one or try all, a little bit every day compounds and it helps you fill your cup especially on those days when it feels impossible to catch a breather.

Did you find these helpful or am I just crazy?

My first wild village festival. I feel so much gratitude for being able to experience this and all that unfolded. How often do you get to camp (or glamp for me) for 4 days kid free to fill your cup up, be in sisterhood (women only) no drugs or booze, just pure being present? Noriza is such a beautiful soul who brought this vision to life (she’s brought many other beautiful visions to life too, like the motherhood gathering I have been so grateful to experience with my babies 3 times already). It’s happening again next year so follow to stay up to date and not miss out.



You coming next year
