Single Parents
Let all that you do be done in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:14
|
Self-care and self-love is the key to changing everything in your life. When her son was 6 weeks old, Liz found herself crying on the bathroom floor. Through some necessary internal work, she went from being an overwhelmed new mom to one that put her well-being first and as a result, positively changed her life and benefited her entire family. Her journey to advocating for mothers to love themselves and engage in non-negotiable self-care began when she started blogging about her surprising unhappiness as a new mom, how she made her self-care the priority, and how she stopped being a martyr in the home. Her blog turned into a top-rated self-help podcast and speaking career and she’s now impacting moms and caregivers of all backgrounds all over the world.
