Mom Self-Care is Non-Negotiable

During my quest for self-care, I learned that while there are many resources to help women transition into motherhood, there is very little focus on the importance of self-care.
My guess as to why this is the case may be that mother's self-care isn't sexy or scientific enough for the mainstream media or perhaps most moms aren't ready to admit that they can't do it all forever.
Yet every mother, at some point, takes on too much and becomes depleted -- and she knows it even if she won't admit it to her closest friends, neighbors and family for fear of seeming ungrateful.
After all, how can you complain about having a beautiful family when so many would trade places with you?
No matter where you are in your self-care journey, you can change.
If you are pregnant, you can decide to begin motherhood with the intention to always take great care of yourself.
