She's Not Selfish

#27: No Pain, No Gain? A Chat About Pelvic Pain with Dr. Addie Long, DPT

All busy moms want to know the secret to consistently living healthy, happy lives amidst all of the crazy -- which, some days, feels like it may as well be a unicorn hiding in a mystical forest where babies are friendly giants, toddlers rule the land, and Guilt is the queen’s relentless adversary. So, how can you mindfully create the life you want, in a season where it feels like you are running from one moment to the next: retroactively responding, triaging, and rarely proactively directing and intentionally creating your life’s trajectory? Samantha Dorsey - prenatal and postnatal fitness specialist, business owner, and Jesus-lovin’ mama of 2 young boys - believes that self-awareness is the first step to self-care, introspection paves the way for intentionality, busyness is not a barometer for worth, and nurturing others and nurturing yourself don’t have to be at odds. In this podcast, Samantha challenges the common facade that we’re all “doing fine,” and unravels the common misconception that moms who prioritize taking care of themselves are on the wrong end of the selflessness-selfishness spectrum.
