69: No Spa Day Needed: Realistic Self-Care for Moms in Medicine
For the full transcript plus bonus resources, head to inspiredmommds.com/69.
What if the self-care you crave didn’t require a day off, but just thirty seconds?
Today I’m busting the myth that you need a spa weekend to feel whole.
Instead, replace it with realistic self-care for busy moms that’s backed by science.
You can weave tiny, research-supported rituals into your day, even between charting and carpool lanes.
Discover why a single mindful sip of tea, a single breath reset before your next patient, or a moment displaying your latest hobby can shift your nervous system from frazzled to focused.
If you’ve ever whispered, “I’ll start tomorrow,” this episode is your permission slip to begin today, with just one micro-moment of care.
