“I cannot show up to be the mom I want to be for Bennett if I don't show up for myself,” says co-host Liz. But when you have so many things pulling at your attention—your kids, your work, your partner, your family and friends—how *do* you find time to show up for yourself? Ashlee Gadd, found of Coffee + Crumbs, knows this struggle all too well. Ashlee talks with new mama Liz about how she learned to let go of the guilt of not doing it all perfectly, and why pursuing what fills you up benefits everyone around you (especially your kids!). For anyone who pours their time into their children, their work, or any other important areas of their life, you'll find Ashlee's message so relatable—and see freeing.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!
