Do you find yourself mindlessly checking out more often than not? Maybe you find yourself always scrolling social media, or constantly being busy and productive, or leaning on retail therapy. None of these actions are unhealthy in and of themselves, but if we are using them to medicate deep wounds we are just using a temporary bandage. Today we have a special guest, Carla Arges. Carla is a Christian Mental Health coach, host of the Affirming Truths podcast, author, mom, and wife. Her mission is to help women thrive and live an abundant life through healing their trauma and rooting their identity in Christ. She loves to see women gain confidence in who they are and walk more boldly in the purpose God has over their lives. Grab a warm cup of coffee, and pull up a chair as Carla and I talk about the ways we might be trying to medicate our trama, practical solutions to heal trauma, and why it's so important to do the hard work of healing.

Summer is a more relaxed season that naturally lends itself to self-care. As busy moms we often put our needs at the bottom of the list.

So how do we find time in our busy schedule to sprinkle in some self-care? To take time and plan things that will brighten our day, make us smile, and fill up our bucket! Today we will explore possible self-care activities, how to fit in self-care, and why self-care is actually pretty important. Grab a notebook if you have one or just listen in if you are washing dishes, walking, or stuck in traffic. Let’s get started!
