Introduction

As a mother, you’re likely to prioritize the wellbeing of your family over your own. It’s a habit that many women develop as they assume the role of caregiver, but it’s important that you find ways to care for yourself too. Self-care is critical for your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, but too often, mothers feel guilty for taking time for themselves. This book will provide you with practical tips and strategies for making self-care a priority in your life.
