Redefining Self-Care for Moms

When Kids Need a Mental Break: A Calm Mom Response

Our kids need mental breaks just as much as we do. In this short episode, we talk about a real-life morning meltdown, how slowing down helped my child reset, and why giving our kids space to breathe is part of our own self-care as moms. A gentle reminder that presence, grace, and emotional rest matter for all of us. ✨ Stay connected and join the community: 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/ritaperryjones [https://instagram.com/ritaperryjones] Join the community https://self-care-for-moms.kit.com/f383a0755b [https://self-care-for-moms.kit.com/f383a0755b]

What Grace Looks Like in Motherhood

Sometimes grace looks like changing the plan.  In this short and honest episode, Rita Perry-Jones, a wife, mom of four, follower of Jesus, and self-care advocate for women, opens up about what it really means to give yourself grace in motherhood. After a full summer and an even fuller fall schedule, Rita shares how she’s embracing a new rhythm: shorter, simpler episodes, and the start of Grace-Filled Mornings, a faith-based devotional series for busy moms who crave peace and God’s presence before the day begins. This episode is for every mama learning to slow down, pivot with grace, and remember that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s stewardship. ✨ Stay connected and join the community: 💌 Have questions or just want to connect?

The Guilt That Keeps Moms Quiet About Self-Care

Why is it so hard to say, “I need a break”? Let’s talk about the guilt that keeps moms silent—and how to finally release it. If saying “I’m tired” or “I need help” feels hard, you’re not alone. In this grace-filled episode, we’re naming the unspoken guilt that keeps so many moms quiet about their own needs. Together, we’ll unpack 5 common reasons moms stay silent about self-care—from fear of judgment and comparison to trauma, burnout, and the pressure to do it all. This isn’t about shame—it’s about understanding where that silence comes from and gently letting it go. Whether you’re holding it all in or learning how to speak up, this episode is your reminder: 💛 You are not selfish for needing rest. 💛 You are not weak for being tired. 💛 Your needs are real—and they matter. 🗓️ New episodes drop every week!
