SMALL TOWN BIG MOUTHS PODCAST

As a single mom with a laundry list of duties, I've often felt like I'm sprinting a marathon with no finish line in sight. It's a sentiment echoed by my co-host Nikki, who juggles a daunting schedule that leaves little room for downtime. Together, we unpack the art of self-care in our latest episode, revealing how it's not just a luxury but a critical pillar for our well-being. We swap stories about the small life hacks that keep us going—from the position of our phones to the catharsis of a good gym workout—and the necessity of understanding our love languages to better communicate our needs to those around us, whether it be an assistant or a partner.
We also wade through the murky waters of household responsibilities, contemplating the lessons of accountability our children learn through chores and the oft-frustrating quest for a clean bathroom in a bustling family household. This segues into the deeper aspect of emotional self-care, where we stress the power of boundaries and the sanctity of 'no.' With a nod to unconventional stress busters like rage rooms, and the solace found in the embrace of solid friendships, we leave you with a reminder: carving out space for self-care isn't selfish, it's essential. So, join us as we take a step back, breathe, and navigate the messy, beautiful journey of taking care of ourselves.
