The micro-regulation mindset shift

Apr 15, 2025

I want to let you in on a game-changer in my working mom journey! It's this: realizing self-care doesn't require an hour-long+ commitment to 'count.'

I've shifted from thinking only lengthy practices matter, to embracing intentional yet brief revitalization practices that actually fit into my packed schedule—making self-care sustainable rather than another impossible standard to meet.

In this week's episode we discuss:
* The micro-regulation mindset shift 
* The power of short-format practices and rituals to: support and prevent burn out, get ahead of resentment, foster a deeper relationship with yourself, and actually set you up for more quality time-in overall
* Finding the windows of opportunity for micro-regulation in your schedule
