Self Love Is Self Care

Join Cindy Edwards and Martina Tam this week as they have a beautiful conversation about self love and self care. Together our hosts explore the difficulties mothers can have when caring for themselves, and how shameful self love can feel in different cultures. We are excited to share this unique take on motherhood and growing as a mother. Cindy and Martina both share how difficult it can be to find the time for self care. Between work and motherhood they both find it difficult to give themselves time to decompress. It is very important for our mothers to find the time they need to care for themselves. If we can learn to take care of ourselves we can care and support others in a much healthier way. Our children deserve healthy and loving parents that understand how important self love is.

A major part of this podcast that we want to share with our listeners is the cultural beliefs around self care. Cindy and Martina share their experience with learning self care as an Asian American woman. Cindy explains how difficult it was to not feel selfish when loving yourself. She explains that she was raised to be a woman of service, and it can make self love feel selfish. Martina has a different experience with self love and self care. Martina explains that she was raised to work so hard and service others that she feels shameful when taking care of herself. With working and motherhood women can feel shame when taking time for themselves. We have been socialized to believe that self care is selfish. We are here to tell you that everyone deserves self care and self love. Thank you for taking the time to listen, and we challenge you to find more time for self love.
