Hello, I’m Ivorie, a self-care coach and content creator dedicated to helping busy moms prioritize their well-being. With a background in therapy and social work, I use my professional expertise and personal experience as a mom of three to offer practical and compassionate support. After experiencing severe burnout and postpartum depression, I realized the transformative power of self-care and now focus on empowering other moms to embrace it. Through my Instagram content and personalized sessions, I share simple, effective strategies for managing stress and finding joy in everyday life. I enjoy traveling, journaling, and sitting in my car after work to decompress as forms of self-care.
What inspired you to become a self-care coach specifically for moms?
My own experience with burnout and lack thereof taking care of myself inspired me to become a self-care coach for moms. After having twins and a 3-year-old, I found myself feeling lost and completely burnt out. I realized that if I was struggling this much, other moms must be too. This pushed me to focus on self-care and help other moms prioritize their well-being.
What's one simple self-care practice you recommend every mom incorporate into her daily routine?
Incorporating a daily 5-minute mindfulness break into your routine can be incredibly beneficial. Use this time to focus on your breath, practice gratitude, or simply sit quietly and reset your mind. This small, consistent practice can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
How can moms overcome guilt associated with taking time for themselves?
Overcoming mom guilt involves reframing your thoughts. Instead of thinking of self-care as a selfish act, I want to challenge moms to see it as an essential part of being the best version of themselves for their family. Taking care of themselves allows them to take better care of others.
If self-care was a recipe, what would be the key ingredients?
Intentionality, consistency, and self-compassion. Being intentional about making time for self-care, consistently incorporating it into your routine, and being kind to yourself when things don’t go perfectly are all crucial.
What's your go-to "emergency self-care" technique for moms having a meltdown moment?
