Hitting rock bottom. If you're tired learn to REST not QUIT - With Sarah P Professional Sleep Consultant

Sarah gets so vulnerable and transparent in this episode and opens up about mental health and gives advice from experience. It is one you won't want to miss!

If you’re tired learn to rest not quit - Banksy

Today was a cry in the car day. I’ve been surrounded by littles far too much, Finn pooped his pants at a friends (I’m not mad at all that just happens) but it was still shitty 😉 It all feels heavy. Heavier than it used to. I find myself in contact searching for a spark ⚡️ to fill the anxieties that we are all recovering from from the last few years. 

And I realize that it’s when I get knocked out of routine that it feels the most chaotic. Here are some tips from my book 📕 to bring you (and me) back down to earth: 

Are you tired or hungry or mentally drained? 

Get to bed, grab a snack or go for a walk. 

You cannot pour from an empty cup. Self care is number one. You’ve got this.

What are you worried about?

What is working well?

And what are your next steps?
