If one more person tells you to “just practice more self-care,” you might lose it, and honestly? Same. This week’s episode of Raising Boys, Building Men takes that guilt-filled phrase and flips it on its head. In today’s conversation, we dig into why traditional self-care often feels impossible for moms of teenage boys and why it’s NOT the answer you actually need. Instead, we talk about self-awareness, the simple, doable shift that keeps you from drowning, even during the busiest seasons of motherhood. You’ll hear the story of the moment Heidi realized she had completely lost herself (yes… the crying-in-the-car moment) and the three self-awareness practices that helped her take her power back: This episode will help you breathe again no spa days required.
