One of my favorite quotes of all time is, “Planning is everything, the plan means nothing.” attributed to Dwight Eisenhower. I’ve used it here on the podcast and in my courses to signify the importance of planning + strategizing, even when the plan could change without warning. At the beginning of our recent vacation, this became even more evident. Today, I’m telling you the story of how last minute travel changes had less of an effect on us because we spent so much time in planning mode.

I’m a firm believer that self care is deeper than the every now and then occurrence of luxuries and indulgences. Don’t get me wrong, a pedicure is incredible. So is a bubble bath. So is a blow out. All other these things are forms of self care, but assuming that moms are only allowed to care for themselves a few times a year is yet again putting our needs last while everyone else's come first. Self care is a non-negotioable for me and I have one simple habit that I couldn’t live without and it’s going to be different than anything you’re expecting.
