We're also modeling to our kids what it looks like to take care of yourself.

And in today's like overworked, stressed out, anxious society, that is like a powerful

So I always say to moms, if you can't do it for yourself at first, do it for your kids because they're watching.

that you might have thought were bad things in the past as a mother,

but no, they're not. They're just really good survival tips. And Jamie also has a quiz for you
