Summary

What does self-care really look like when you’re a working mama?

For me, it definitely doesn’t look like it used to pre-babies. (Honestly, it doesn’t even look like it did a year ago when I just had one!)

But even though self-care may look different in this season of life, that doesn’t mean it can’t still be nurturing, soulful, and even pleasurable.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what self-care looks like for me right now — in the thick of raising babies, running a business, and navigating this beautiful, full, family-oriented phase of life.

Tune in to learn how I microdose self-care in the mornings, what I do before the kids wake up, the Ayurvedic ritual that grounds me, the small things that help me stay connected to myself, and why I believe that being of service can be a powerful form of self-care.

So if you’re craving real, doable inspiration to take care of yourself during this delightfully full season of life, then press play now… this one’s for you.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Melissa Ambrisini Show. I'm your host, Melissa, best-selling author of Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, Comparisonitis and Time Magic.
0:12.6	And I'm here to remind you that love is sexy, healthy is liberating and wealthy isn't a dirty word.
0:19.6	Each week I'll be getting up close and personal with thought leaders from around the globe,
0:24.5	as well as your weekly dose of motivation so that you can create epic change in your own life
0:31.2	and become the best version of yourself possible.
0:35.4	Are you ready, beautiful? Hey, beautiful. Welcome back to the show. I'm so excited about this episode because I'm going
0:47.0	to be sharing with you some self-love or self-care things that I do each day that really move the needle as a working mama for this
0:57.9	season in my life. Now, before I had children, I would do a three-hour morning routine and it was
1:03.9	delicious. Not going to lie, it was delicious. However, I have two children now, multiple businesses, and that is just not
1:15.5	possible. Well, it could be possible if I chose to get someone to look after my children for
1:22.1	three hours, but it is a priority for me to be with my children. However, I still want to take care of myself. I still want
1:30.7	to fill myself up and look after myself. So I like to do what I call micro dose self-care
1:39.0	throughout my day for this season in my life. So I'm going to share some things that I do each day, and I want you to
1:46.5	write them down, and I want you to take whichever ones resonate with you, implement them,
1:51.2	and then let me know how you go. Okay, so grab a pen and paper or open the note section in your
1:57.6	phone, create a new note and title it, micro dose self-care. Okay. So I'll start
2:04.7	with the beginning of the day. One of the first things I do, if I'm not getting woken up by my
2:09.5	children, is if I wake up before them, I lay there and I do some deep breathing. Literally,
2:16.2	maybe 10 seconds or however long I've got and I might just do a couple
2:21.5	rounds of box breathing, which is where you breathe in for five, hold for five and breathe
2:25.8	out for five. So I'll do that. Then if I still have time and my children haven't woken me up,
2:31.0	I might sit up and do a 20 minute meditation. If I don't do it then,
