The undeniable impact of pandemic parenting on our mental healthRemembering to help yourself when you’re a constant “helper”Don’t underestimate the toll of the postpartum period and early childhood parentingStop making excuses: you deserve a break and the benefits are huge!How to give yourself a “momcation” and work within your limitsIn this episode, Stace and Steph have a conversation with Laura Guska, a stay-at-home mom to two small children, ages 3 and 15 months. Before becoming a mom, she was a 4th grade teacher and worked for an educational technology start up company supporting teachers and administrators across the country. After spending the majority of her "mom life" during a pandemic and dealing with a particularly difficult postpartum period with her second child, she was exhausted, depleted, and in need of some time to herself. 

Then Laura did something amazing—she took a "momcation." Three nights all alone, in a resort by the ocean. While this may sound like an unattainable, luxurious pipe dream, today we are here to tell you that this is not the case. Listen on to discover why a momcation is NOT just for the spoiled Real Housewives type, and how you can make it work for you, no matter your budget or circumstances, because YOU DESERVE IT.
