What if putting yourself first could change how you feel about everyone around you?
In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe is joined by Dr Mindy Pelz, a women’s health educator, chiropractor and New York Times bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl. Known for her work on women’s health, hormones and menopause, Mindy shares a deeply personal lesson about caring for herself.
After years of putting family and then work first, she finally began prioritising herself at 55. The biggest change? Letting go of resentment.
Together, they explore what our children learn from watching us constantly doing, rushing and putting our own needs last. Mindy offers a different way to think about self-care: as something we can model for our children, helping them see that their needs deserve space too.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
How Mindy connects putting herself first with feeling less resentful.
Why our everyday habits can teach our children more than our words.
A simple question to ask when prioritising yourself feels difficult.
A reminder that caring for yourself is something your children can learn from, too.
