A Pause for Self-Care

Season 1, Episode 126

After 125 episodes of real, messy conversations about self-care, Jill and Linda hit pause. In this episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, they share their weekly highs and lows, celebrating joyful moments like Halloween with family while also navigating the deep grief of losing a loved one. It’s a tender reminder that life rarely holds just one emotion at a time.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
  • Jill’s joyful Halloween memories with her son, alongside the heartbreaking news of her dad’s passing after his battle with cancer.
  • Linda’s sweet and funny stories about parenting a toddler who’s discovering her voice and big personality.
  • The emotional complexity of holding joy and grief at the same time, and why that tension is so human.
  • Why Jill and Linda made the decision to pause the podcast after 125 weekly episodes.
  • How taking a break can be an essential part of sustainable self-care, not a sign of failure.
  • What you can expect when Mucked Up My Self Care returns in the new season.
Self-care sometimes looks like pushing through, but other times it looks like giving yourself full permission to press pause. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Jill and Linda share why they’re not saying goodbye, just stepping back long enough to rest, grieve, and regroup so they can return with even more grounded, real talk about motherhood, life, and self-care.
