Why 'Doing It All' Nearly Cost Me Everything

About this episode

Jocelyn shares her experience of a 10-day hospital stay due to a medical emergency and discusses the importance of self-care and recognizing personal limits.

We’ve all heard that we need to prioritize self-care, but what happens when your body decides for you? In this episode, Jocelyn is pulling back the curtain on a terrifying 10-day hospital stay following a duodenal perforation. This wasn't just a medical emergency; it was a profound lesson in what happens when we ignore our own limits. Whether you’re a mom juggling a million things or simply feeling the weight of the world, join us for a raw, honest conversation about community, the art of slowing down, and learning to finally extend the same grace to ourselves that we give to everyone else.
