I Didn’t Realize I Was This Depleted: Why You Need To Fill Up On You-Time Regularly

Mother Plus Podcast

• Stace and Steph share the "secret sauce" we've learned from our experiences working with women during our two September events.
• We discuss the power of intentional connection with women who want to "go there" with each other and get real—and how the effort leaves you feeling filled up instead of depleted.
• You can't plan for the unique alchemy that happens when women gather and are present in the moment—everyone's gifts and needs naturally rise to the surface.
• Small talk is SO overrated—we talk about what happens when you go deep with conversation instead of sticking to the surface topics so many of us usually discuss.
• Our new motto: You can't bank respite. You have to keep making deposits or your balance is going to dry up.
• Sometimes we don't know how thirsty we are until we've filled our cup. The more depleted we get, the harder it is to feel filled up by just one nourishing activity.
• When we plant seeds of intention, we can leave ourselves a little trail of breadcrumbs to follow to lead us back to feeling the way we really want to feel.

In this Stace and Steph episode, we reflect on the experiences we had with women in our two Mother Plus September events—one virtual and a delicious in-person mini-retreat. We share what we learned from the amazing women who joined us, and how we felt ourselves after refilling our cups together. Today we want to encourage you to keep making intentional deposits in your "respite bank." We'll brainstorm ideas to take small steps back to yourself to avoid reaching a dangerous level of depletion. Take notes and prepare to follow through and DO THE THING that brings you back to yourself. And here's your daily reminder: Call your best friend. xoxo
