It’s a brand new year and while many people choose to make New Year’s Resolutions, the Mental Health Mamas have decided to focus on self-care instead. We invite you to listen in to hear our take on self-care and some of the things we do to find some rest and renewal as we move into the long winter months. Join us for a self-care revolution!
