“Self care is making sure your needs and wants are met. Period.” - Chari Twitty-Hawkins, Self-Care Mom Coach

With the lazy days of summer vacation coming to a close, and the hectic days of school work, schedules and carpool lines appearing, it is important for all moms to be reminded of the importance of consistent self-care. My guest this month is Chari Twitty-Hawkins, author, speaker, and self-care mom coach, whose mission is to encourage and inspire mamas to invest in themselves so that they can show up in their lives well, as God created them to be. Chari will challenge us this month to wear the badge of motherhood without the overwhelm, but instead wear it with daily rhythms of self-care. In this episode, you will learn:

• The importance of having daily self-care habits as a mom
• How taking the time to take care for the life that God has given you is not selfish, but good stewardship.
• Seven different types of self-care and how to practically implement them into your life.

Whether you’re a new mom with a baby at home, a mom who is sending your child off to school for the first time, or a mom that’s in the thick of homeschooling, this episode will bless you!

The Month’s Challenge:

• Put together a self-care plan consisting of one practical habit that will allow you to nurture three areas of your life: your spirit, your body, and your relationships.
• Send your self-care plan to leslie@leslieawilliams.com to be entered into a drawing to receive Chari’s book, “Self Care Affirmations for Moms: Speaking Life & Love into the Inner Woman of God in You.” Remember, you must show one practical habit for each of the areas listed above in order to be eligible.

Scripture References Mentioned:

• Galatians 5:14 (TPT)   
• Proverbs 31:17 (AMP)
• Romans 12:1-2
