*****TOP 5% GLOBAL PODCAST***** Self-Care for Busy Moms: Eating Well, Mediterranean Diet Recipes, Time Management, Stress Management, Strength Exercise Are you struggling to stay consistent to a healthy diet? Do you feel frustrated with the setbacks from poor food choices that affect your body and mood? Is it a challenge to maintain motivation to exercise regularly given your busy schedule? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast will help you find ways to have habits for physical health and fitness, and for mental and spiritual wellbeing so you can have long-term strength and greater peace! Hey, I’m Susan. A friend of Jesus, a wife, and boy mom. For many years, I struggled with finding time, motivation or the discipline to exercise regularly or have any self-care. My life was increasingly busy with my kids and their schedules and I lacked consistency and habits that put importance on self-care. My striving to keep everything going smoothly in my family pushed me to ignore many things…balance, friendships, mental drain, overwhelm, mild depression. I finally realized that in order to have physical health as well as mental well-being and peace, I needed to slow down and tend to myself in order to be there for my family. I focused on physical therapy and strategies to relax and de-stress through self-care. This started a decades-long process of learning to find what works and does not work for me. I created a strategy that works with ME. A step by step process that I could actually stick with. Even when there are times I fall off, this process helps me get back on track faster so that I can stay the course over time for long-term health and strength. And I’m ready to share it with you! If you are ready to finally implement strategies for busy moms so you can have… Physical Health and Fitness, Mental and Spiritual Strength, Discipline and Consistency, Personal Time and Relaxation, - this podcast is for you!
