Excellent piece! I identify and now that I’m not working after years of burning the candle at both ends, I feel guilty of not carrying on that “over extended” productive life—you nailed the feeling and where it stems from.
Allow me to congratulate you on an amazing job you’ve done and doing—working as hard as you are, raising three children on your own has to be challenging and tiring.
Thank you for incorporating rest and self-love into your life—you not only need and deserve it: but its a gift to your daughters.
I can’t do my parenting journey again: but if I did, I would have placed more emphasis on intentional rest to be present more often.
Thanks for sharing your piece! 👊🏽🧡🧡
