33. Thriving, Not Just Surviving: Transformative Self-Care for Moms with Scottie Durrett

Hello and welcome to The Creative Calm Podcast, Episode 33. I'm your host, Denise Christenson Rae. In today's episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by the incredible Scottie Durrett. As you might know, I'm passionate about helping you find success through rest, creativity, and play, and as a mom of four, I understand the challenges that come with balancing motherhood and personal fulfillment.

Scottie is here to share her invaluable insights on self-care and overcoming mom guilt. Her journey through what she calls "mommy martyrdom" to thriving in life is something many of us can relate to. Together, we'll discuss the importance of redefining success in motherhood, connecting to your personal vision, and the absolute need for self-care – starting with baby steps, like just 30 seconds a day.

We're also diving into practical ways to rewire our brains to battle the guilt and shame that often come with the territory of being a mom. We'll talk about the unique challenges of motherhood, the impact of societal pressures, and the often unspoken difficulty in enjoying certain phases of our children's lives.

I'll share my own experiences with burnout and how I've learned to enjoy each stage of life without constantly wishing for the next. Together, we'll explore strategies for better self-talk and mindset to improve our emotional coping strategies.

So, settle in and let's navigate this path of discovery together. It's time to take a deep breath, set aside the day's worries, and get ready for a rejuvenation of mind and spirit right here on The Creative Calm Podcast.
