What's Up Wednesdays!

Episode Summary:

Today I invites moms to do something revolutionary—make space for themselves. Not in a metaphorical sense, but an actual physical space in their homes that serves no one else but them. Whether it’s a cozy corner, a comfy chair, or a sunny windowsill, this is about reclaiming peace, presence, and personal identity in the chaos of motherhood.

You’ll learn:

• Why creating a personal space matters (even in a tiny home)
• How to find a corner of your own without disrupting the rest of the house
• Simple tips for designing your space to reflect your personality and needs
• How to protect your space from distractions, clutter, and guilt
• And how showing up for yourself in small, intentional ways can change everything
