Mom NOT "Martyr‪"‬

When you became a Mom, did you instantly allow yourself to also bear the title of a "Martyr"?

As we enter the amazing ride of Motherhood, it is so extremely easy to feel like we are supposed to completely sacrifice ourselves in order to love our kids best. We convince ourselves that there isn't time for us to take care of ourselves and that once we have raised our children, THEN, we will have time to take care of our needs and do the things that bring us joy.

I strongly disagree with this mindset and do not believe this is the way to love our children best. In fact, I believe that if we are sacrificing ourselves while we raise our kids, we are in turn, deprivation them of having the best mom they could possibly have!

Yes, I am passionate about this and go much deeper in this episode with reasons why. I pray this causes you to pause and take note of where you are on the priority list and truly welcome the challenge to evaluate if any changes need to be made in your life, for yourself and your kids!

Every step we take is progress and it matters!
