In this episode, we dive into the critical but often overlooked topic of self-care for parents. We discuss the guilt and societal pressures that many parents face, which can lead to burnout and loss of identity. Through our personal stories and experiences, we explore how to prioritise self-care, maintain your identity, and keep your marriage healthy and fulfilling while raising a young family. We also offer practical tips on how to recognize when you need self-care and how to make time for it without the guilt. Plus, we share some light-hearted moments from our own highs and lows of the week, including Ben’s laser tag adventures and the satisfaction of seeing our kids thrive in school.

Key Takeaways

• Prioritise Sleep: Aim for at least eight hours of sleep each night to improve overall well-being.
• Learn to Say No: Set boundaries and learn to decline additional responsibilities that stretch you too thin.
• Work Together: Support each other in finding time for self-care and divide responsibilities to ensure both partners can recharge.
