Episode 136 - Summertime Self-Care

About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of summer for parents and offers creative self-care strategies when usual routines are disrupted.

The reason summer can feel hard for parents (and anyone who typically has a school schedule) has nothing to do with your attitude and everything to do with your nervous system. School-year structure was quietly keeping you regulated...and then summer yanked it away! New episode breaking down what creative self-care actually looks like when your normal tools aren't available. 🎙️ #selfcare #summertime #parenting #nervoussystem #regulation #mentalhealth
