Burnout among moms is at an all-time high. We know we need self-care, but we think of it in two opposite extremes: either the Spa Day Mentality (a constant mindset of “I’ll treat myself because I deserve it”) or the Mommy Martyrdom Mentality (a mindset of “my kids are my world, and I can’t do anything for myself”). Join Kari as she discusses a healthy middle ground that strengthens you, expands your bandwidth, and builds wellness from the inside out.

For girls and women, friends are like oxygen.  They make life better, they "get us" like no one else, they induce side-splitting laughter, and they make impossible days feel bearable.

The best lessons in friendship often come during the loneliest seasons of friendship, and as Kari explains, those lonely seasons can help you "up" your friendship game and become the friend you hope to find.
