Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie Maywellson and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have

about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self

of the This Intentional Life podcast. Heather's also a wife and a mom and so she knows better than anyone

how hectic life can get and how that's the very reason it is essential that we take care of ourselves.

But today's not going to be the kind of episode that leaves you thinking,

cool, it would be nice if I could go get a massage once a week, but I don't have the time or the

funds for that. Heather's actually going to do the exact opposite. She's going to help us weed through

all of the self care things that people say we should do and pick the five most important, most
