toia barry

it's so easy to lose ourselves in motherhood, especially in the early stages. we're depended on 24/7 & can get wrapped up in just being a mom... but you're so much more.

if you're finding that you're losing a sense of who you were before becoming a mom or you're already there... you're not alone. here are some tips for not losing yourself as a mom.

have things for just you

1

a hobby or just something you enjoy - dancing, listening to music or bingeing your favorite show - have something for just you.

self-care is key

2

when you can find a moment, take care of yourself. some form of exercise, an at-home facial & just getting a good night's rest all count as self-care.

have alone time

3

you need to recharge your battery so you can be there for your kids. have someone else care for the kids & take a walk by yourself, take yourself to a coffee shop or just take a nap!

fix yourself up

4

oftentimes, when you look good, you feel good! get dressed in something other than sweats, do your hair, get your nails done or do 'em yourself. instant mood lift!
