”Finding Balance: Embracing Stillness in the Busy Lives of Moms and Women”

In this episode of Dear Mama I chat with the amazing Angelique MacArthur of the Adulthood Edit  ! We dive into the fascinating topic of why so many women, especially moms, tend to wear their 'busyness' like a badge of honor. We explore the societal and personal pressures that lead us to believe we should be constantly busy, and the guilt that often creeps in when we dare to take a break.

We also discuss the ripple effect of our perpetual busyness on our kids. What are we teaching them when we can't sit still or prioritize self-care? And most importantly, we'll share practical tips and insights on how to find that much-needed balance and create space for recharging in our busy lives.

So, grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and join us for a thought-provoking conversation on why we feel the need to be busy and how we can break free from this cycle to lead happier, more fulfilled lives – for ourselves and the next generation.
