Our family has had a week.
My wallet was stolen. My daughter got an ear infection. We tried and took a break from potty training. Recently, I got sick for the first time in YEARS – a head cold strong enough that I rescheduled some podcast interviews to give myself some rest.
Our society doesn’t support time for rest and healing from illness; there’s this belief instilled in us that we must power through anyway.
But it’s important to remember where these “beliefs” come from – personal lenses, sure, but also communal, generational lenses – and that we are only human.
So this episode is for the moms who feel they must “do it all” – and to let them know it’s OKAY to rest. In fact, resting might be the most productive thing they do today.
