Becoming a single mom was hard. In fact, traumatic might be a better word. I was in need of healing, rest, more help than ever and yet I felt so isolated. It didn't seem like anyone could understand. I was overwhelmed all the time, I felt guilty for how grumpy I was. I just didn't want to do this!
But my kids are my world and they deserve a healthy, happy mom.
And I deserve that too.
Who has the time?
We're keeping tiny humans alive, we can't fuss over our health
When your cup is empty, it's not a matter of of taking tiny steps or following a plan. You don't have anything more to give.
That's how I felt at least. My brain was full. Too full.
People would tell me things I should check out, or go to this event or that class and I just checked out.
There's no room at the inn people! I'm booked!
Our aim at The Single Mom Haven is to start with REST.
Acceptance. Healing. Space.
From there we build to little things like how can we getting better sleep?
What is one thing we can do each day to show ourselves kindness?
My mission is to help single moms find peace, self acceptance and healing so they can see just how special they are. I believe in prioritizing good mental and physical health by adopting simple steps to a clean, natural lifestyle that is easy to maintain.
Why do we use essential oils?
One of the tools I have used to support my mental, emotional and physical health are essential oils.
If you are curious to learn about them, here are my top three.
I place a few drops over my heart each day and inhale deeply.
I place a few drops on the crown of my head to help release anger and it really helps calm me down.
Valor helps me feel grounded. I place it on the bottoms of my feet and behind my ears.
"Joining the single mom haven has given me the community I needed. I used to feel so isolated and overwhelmed. I love how accepting they are, how I can share and not feel judged and how they gently encourage me to show myself kindness."
