A note from Jamie: I had the chance last year to enroll in one of Lisa Byrne's courses, and found it incredibly helpful in my walk as a mother.

When we begin to practice self care throughout our days (and not just in special hours set aside for “me time”) we can begin to actually fill the well as we go along, we can care and support our well being in the midst of others-focused days, and we can find true restoration without needing to wait long stretches until we can “steal away” some time for ourselves.
