Episode #24 Parenting, Identity, and Self-Care

Описание: Hey there, lovely listeners! Welcome to another episode where we're diving into the rollercoaster ride of midlife with the incredible Sarah Saum. Ever feel like you're juggling a million things at once—parenting, work, and somehow still trying to find 'me time'? You're not alone, and that's exactly what we're chatting about today.



Sarah, a supermom and business owner, opens up about her journey through the wild world of solo parenting. Spoiler alert: It's not always a walk in the park! But guess what? It’s okay to ask for help. Who knew, right? Sometimes, leaning on our friends and family is the ultimate life hack.



We also dive into the importance of carving out time for yourself, even when life feels like a never-ending to-do list. Have you ever rediscovered an old hobby and felt a spark of joy? Sarah talks about how finding these little passions can help us reconnect with who we are beyond the roles we play. The title of the book Sarah mentioned is Hold On To Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers Gordoan Neufeld, PHD & Gabor Mate, MD.



And let's not forget the beautiful chaos of family life. We chat about how creating family traditions can be a fun way to boost communication and why embracing the craziness can actually lead to some of life’s most beautiful moments.



Here are some key takeaways to ponder:




• Carve out 'me time'—it's more important than you think!


• Solo parenting? It's a balancing act, but you're not alone.


• Reflecting on past moments can help you appreciate the here and now.


• Family traditions aren't just fun—they're great for communication.


• Don’t be afraid to ask for help; it's a sign of strength, not weakness.


• Rediscovering old hobbies can be like finding a piece of yourself.


• Self-care is about both body and mind—take care of both!


• Being a people pleaser? It might be holding you back.


• Finding balance in family dynamics is key to happiness.


• Embrace the chaos. Sometimes, it's where the magic happens.




So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and join us for a heart-to-heart chat. We promise you'll leave feeling inspired and maybe a little less alone on this journey. Until next time, take care of yourselves!
