When you’re a mom, “me time” feels impossible. Between working, planning, cooking, driving, cleaning, doing laundry, and everything else that comes with home management, literally the days just feel like they fly by and you probably don’t get as much wellness time as you deserve. To get in that daily self-care in, you’ve got to multitask. One great way of unwinding and investing in yourself as a multi-tasking mom is by listening to podcasts!
Think about it, pretty much no matter what you’re doing (whether up late feeding your baby or driving teens to-and-from activities) you can have a podcast in your ear. It’s just for you, so you can drown out kid’s music, noisy playtime, or even your own chaotic thoughts while totally investing in yourself as a woman, mom, and/or wife! Pretty awesome!
So, now the question is: what do you want to listen to? Whether you want something that’s super informative and enriching or you want something entertaining and low-key, you can find a podcast that’s perfect for you in whatever stage of momhood you’re in. Whatever is going on, a good podcast is gonna help you through it and make sure you get your much-deserved momma TLC.
