I know that your life is packed.

And I wouldn’t dream of suggesting adding anything extra to your infinite to-do list that will consume even more of your precious time and energy.

So please don’t worry about that!

This is the total opposite.

Because, like most other women, I know you already face pressure to be Superwoman, put out fires, flourish in your career, and be there for your friends, family, and everyone in between.

Intellectually, we understand the oxymoron “put your oxygen mask on first," and we know that” we can’t pour from an empty cup"—yet these mantras are ones we struggle to follow.

No matter how much we desire more me-time and quiet, we just don’t have the time or energy to fill our empty cups.

So, we struggle and ignore our bodies' cries for rest and deep care.
