Fatigue, Low Cortisol & Radical Momming | Ep 170

Sep 1, 2021
11:33

There’s this normalization that, especially as a caretaker, your needs are not as important or relevant compared to the needs of others. We’ve become so fixated on deriving our sense of purpose and self-worth by and through caretaking everyone else around us that we feel guilt or shame if we even consider prioritizing our own needs first. But what if prioritizing your own needs not only helps you take better care of yourself, but also teaches those you caretake how to take care of themselves, too?

In this extra mini-sode, Erin is talking about fatigue, low cortisol, and asking the question HOW did we get here? The answer may require you to be radically honest with yourself about your needs, your boundaries, and what is (and more importantly, what is NOT) working in your life.

If you’re a mom, a caretaker, or you’re someone who tends to derive your sense of purpose and self-worth through caretaking other people’s needs, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this one!
