It's YOU time...


Hey, Reader.

The year is winding down, but there's still so much self care to be had.

In October, I celebrated my birthday in ways that brought me true joy and felt like me.

I met up with my girl squad at my mom's house and spent time reminiscing on life and sharing our goals for the future. It felt like old times. My mom loved having us all there. And my daughter, who is 8, enjoyed seeing me and her aunties being so fun and free.

My husband surprised me with dinner and a show. It was one those, "put this on and be ready in an hour dates." I was blown away. The show was the Boyz II Men Concert 😊

I also spend time in my oversized Steelers shirt, watching a game while playing cards with family.

It was all lowkey yet intimate and it felt so much like me.

The journey of self care is all about reconnecting with yourself so you can reclaim joy in your motherhood experience.

I reclaimed my joy long ago, and it feels good to maintain it. What about you?

As we head into the final stretch of the year, I want to encourage you to make room for the things that make you feel like YOU. Not just the things you need to do, but the people, experiences, and little moments that bring you joy.

And if you're still figuring out what that looks like in this season of motherhood, I'd love to invite you to spend some time with my book, What Self Care Looks Like.

It's a guide to reconnecting with yourself, being intentional about your well-being, and finding your way back to the woman behind the role of mom.

Here's to ending the year feeling a little more like YOU.

"What Self Care Looks Like" is a deeply personal and empowering guide for mothers navigating the overwhelming realities of motherhood.

I appreciate you,

Brittany

Hey, Reader. There are some things motherhood prepares you for. A broken collarbone is not one of them. On the fourth day of school, my daughter broke her collarbone. And if I’m being completely honest, the injury wasn’t the only thing that rattled me. It was watching her have to adjust to a completely different version of her normal. She couldn’t move the way she normally did. She had to slow down. Certain activities were suddenly off limits. Her typical routine had to change because her...

Hey, Reader. Self-care looks a little different for me since publishing What Self Care Looks Like in 2021. But the basics? They’re still the same. 💜 I’ve learned that self-care isn’t about finding the perfect routine or checking every box. It’s about staying connected to yourself enough to recognize what you need and giving yourself permission to honor it. The 5 Wellness Points are still at the center of that for me: ✨ Social Wellness — making space for connection, friendship, laughter, and...
