55. Journaling to Prioritize Yourself & Experience Real Self Care

Season #2

My 3 year old son taught me a lesson on how I've been able to feel at peace, organized & optimistic even while being a super active single mom & running 3 businesses.

This week, I share with you exactly how I'm able to manage my day-to-day responsibilities without defaulting to autopilot or survival mode. I also share the difference between faux-self care and "Real Self Care" and how to use journaling to actually feel like yourself again.
