Hello! I’m Kate!
I am a boy mom, a Frenchie mom, a full time x-ray tech, a lover of all things luxurious, lover of the sunshine, and a self-care enthusiast who not too long ago, learned about the benefits of self-care, mediation, and ways to slow down to fully embrace a more balanced life.
I became a mother at a pretty young age so a lot of my life I felt like I was in survival mode. When I started my college career, I was never really sure “what I wanted to be when I grew up”! Although I ended up in a very rewarding career, I kept having a feeling of not being really fulfilled by it.
As I dug in trying to figure out why I felt that way, I began to discover the benefits of true self-care. I am good at my job, and I like it, and I LOVE being a mom, but in ways I still was feeling some type of emptiness- like something was missing. I was also noticing that I was feeling overwhelmed often and like I was living to work instead of working to live. So much of my energy was being spent outside of my home. I felt like I didn’t have enough of myself left to give my family the best of me at the end of the day. This really hit me hard!
I began to ask myself how I was going to fix this problem- and I learned a few really valuable lessons:
You can’t pour from an empty cup!
If you are not taking care of yourself you are not giving your best to others.
Self-care is more than just going through the motions of what someone tells you to do- You have to look inside and find what really works for you.
So, I started learning about self-care practices like meditation, shifting my mindset, gratitude journaling, and saying affirmations and it was the start of my self-care journey!
Life is too short to be rushing through most of the days. As I began to learn how to prioritize myself, become more self aware, and better manage the busyness of life, I was able to feel more balanced and begin thriving.
Once I realized that I had the power and the ability to change my mindset, my life changed.
Here you will find resources that will help you do the same. By slowing down, organizing your thoughts, and practicing self-care, you will begin noticing everyday challenges becoming easier and easier. I know you can do it, and I am here to share these things with you.
I genuinely hope the resources you find here help you on your journey toward living a beautifully balanced life!
