Please excuse any typos or errors.</p><p>Danielle An (00:00)</p><p>In this episode, I want to talk about giving ourselves more space without the guilt to take care of ourselves first, especially because we are caregivers to very little children who are always watching. This is early care for every kid, a podcast for people who want to make learning, living, and loving more harmonious for everyone.</p><p>I'm your host, Danielle An each week, I interview fellow parents, educators, advocates, and community leaders. The care for and work with young children and families. I share their experiences, insights, and specific, actionable tips on how you could help make the world work better for everyone. Welcome to our conversation.</p><p>Danielle An (00:50)</p><p>Hi I was away last week and despite wanting to be disciplined and consistent about podcast episodes, I myself also just take the week without giving any advance notice. I felt a little guilty and frustrated and frankly was very cranky and myself to be skipping an episode. But I do want to talk about how I've come to feel okay about it all&nbsp;</p><p>After taking an unplanned last minute road trip to visit my in-laws for the first time since the pandemic, I wasn't quite sure I was going to be able to record and release this episode or any episode, but I take a moment to think about is that really important right now for me this week, especially cause I wasn't feeling very well. I decided that it's okay. Let's skip a week and come back the week after. So here we are.&nbsp;</p><p>And it just reminded me to maybe encourage you to give ourselves, give yourself some more space. Without guilt to intentionally take care of ourselves first and recharge as needed. So that would, we could be at a healthier, more regulated space where we are feeling generous and happy to share what we do and do it with joy and gladness.</p><p>So when we are with our kids, we're not erupting at them. Something really minute.&nbsp;</p><p>Danielle An (02:23)</p><p>I want to talk about the mindset shift as I decided, okay, this week I will skip an episode because it might demonstrate a little bit about what a lot of caregivers, a lot of mothers do, especially when it comes to personal work and family lives.</p><p>We set ourselves up for failure a lot of times, because there are too many things that need to get done that don't. Fit on our plate neatly. And we are not meant to do all the things on our own without any support, even before the coronavirus and during a pandemic. And. As we are perhaps slowly getting to a safer place and still a tenuous place where there's still a lot of uncertainty.</p><p>There's a lot of clarity how we are not individually meant to do it all alone, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and all the stacks, all the nursing or pumping and the bottle washing and feeding or a sanitizing that needs to happen. And just keeping the house. Clean enough or making a...
