I talk about self-care a lot but it’s much easier said than done. I’m leaving on a quick business trip for a day and my son asked if “I’m flying away from him.” My daughter repeated “mommy don’t go, I want to go with you” with sad puppy eyes. ⁣🥺
⁣
I’m seasoned enough to know they are gonna be okay but as their primary caretaker, this achy feeling you get when leaving the babies never truly go away. You just become better at weighing out the pros and cons, navigating the emotions with delicate care and a bit of logic. ⁣
⁣
I’m certainly leaving on a business trip but the truth is, this is a rare moment of solitude for me. Since when did business trips become a form of self-care and why do we feel guilt? ⁣
⁣
Is this innate, something every mother is born with or is this the symptom of a system gone wrong? #randomthoughts

The kids are back-in-school, which is a new beginning for many of us. Teaching our kids to navigate conflict and normalizing “NO” are easier said than done.
⁣
Interestingly, being a parent is what ignites our authentic self-love and healing journey, it mirrors back to us all that we must learn, change and accept. ⁣
⁣
As we enter the final months of 2023, I want to remind you, along with my partner @go_faar, that now is a great time to reset your conversations about responsible decision-making and saying “no” to underage drinking. ⁣
