The Un-Curriculum Workbook Series – Working to Keep our Own Cups Full (Unit 1, Lesson 7)

You’ve probably heard it before: you can’t pour from an empty cup. But knowing that and actually doing something about it are two very different things. In this session, we got honest about what it really means to take care of ourselves – not the spa day version, but the small, daily, realistic version that fits inside actual family life. What fills you up? What drains you without you even noticing? And is it possible to take care of yourself without feeling like you’re taking something away from your kids?

If you’ve been running on fumes and telling yourself it’s fine — this one is for you.
