As adults most of us have been taught to ‘take care of business’ – all business. Especially as women, we take care of everyone else first and often put ourselves at the end of the line, just like Mom did. Self-care is the first step in realizing when we take care of ourselves, there’s a greater chance there will be something left of us in order to take care of others. This is a hard lesson to learn when you’ve been the homemaker, wife, chef, mother, housekeeper, banker, chauffeur, dietitian, coach, model, mentor and organizer for an entire family. One day, however most of us will get to the moment when we realize we can give ourselves permission to be first in line instead of always last.
It is a time too when after a couple of decades of running an entire household, your identity is tied to being the caretaker and manager of a family, a group of people and a busy schedule. Suddenly when the kids leave the nest and are on their own, we’re not one of many any more but rather one of two, or one of one and our familiar identity changes. What comes next?
If you are in this space, our programs will help you reframe this dilemma and reconnect with what has meaning, what has value and what your true purpose will be.
