When did you last go to the doctor for yourself? Not for a sick kid, not a well-child visit — for you. When did you last get a mammogram, a skin check, a physical? When did you last work out for more than 11 minutes before someone needed something?   If you just cringed a little, this episode is for you.   Krissy gets honest about her own experience scheduling a mammogram around everyone else's life — and what it revealed about how moms are conditioned to put themselves last. This isn't a lecture. It's a real conversation about why self-care feels so impossibly hard when everyone depends on you, and a practical way to start changing that without overhauling your entire life.   In this episode: Why becoming a mom rewires you to deprioritize yourself The guilt that shows up the moment you try to take care of yourself — and what it actually means Why waiting for things to "slow down" is keeping you stuck Krissy's 3-tier health framework: one appointment, 10 minutes of movement, and a bare minimum baseline The 10-day movement challenge — and why it works for moms specifically   This one is honest, warm, and leaves you with something you can actually do today.
