I wrote this book to help those of us who give so much to others, give something back to ourselves. As moms, wives, daughters, career women, friends, and everything else between, we don't always leave space for our own needs because we get so busy tending to everyone else's needs. Our families, friends, and society expect so much from us, but what happens when we find ourselves not having much else to give because we've already given out so much?I know the answer to this question because I have experienced firsthand the results of putting everyone else's needs in front of my own and getting caught up in the busyness of life. As a psychotherapist, a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and a friend, I am always tending to someone else's needs. Don't get me wrong; I love all my roles, but sometimes they are exhausting, especially when I neglect my own needs in favor of taking care of those of others. Many women whom I encounter in personal and professional contexts are willing to drop everything to help someone who calls on them for assistance. They will do that even if it means giving up time, they had planned to spend doing something for themselves. Why is that? Do we get some badge of honor when we prioritize everyone else's needs before our own? Do we feel a sense of satisfaction when people compliment us for always being there for them? We bust our butts to make things happen for others and leave little time and energy to make something happen for ourselves. Prioritizing time for ourselves may sound a bit counterintuitive because many of us have been raised to be nurturers, givers, go-getters, and selfless with our time. Listen, I was raised the same way, so I get it. But at what personal cost are we expending all our energy on everyone and everything around us? I know that all this is easier said than done, but at some point, we have to say enough is enough and realize that self-care is NOT selfish! As a matter of fact, self-care is one of the most selfless things we can do for ourselves. Practicing self-care can be life-changing for women. We can't pour from empty cups. We can't give to others when we barely have enough to give to ourselves. I made this workbook because I wanted women to take part in their own self-care journeys. The journey in this workbook is broken into three sections. Section One will allow you to notice where you are on your self-care journey by doing a short self-assessment. After discovering where you are, Section Two will allow you to embark on a six-week self-care journey. Section Three will help you express how you feel about where you are on your journey and determine what you can do to stay on your journey by integrating self-care into your life.

It’s impossible to ignore how life has changed since COVID-19 spread across the world. People from all over quarantined and did their best to keep on going during the pandemic. Zibby Owens, host of the award-winning podcast MomsDon’t Have Time to Read Books and a mother of four herself, wanted to do something to help people carry on and to give them something to focus on other than the horrors of their news feeds.

Zibby organized these profound pieces into themes inspired by five things moms don’t have time to do: eat, read, work out, breathe, and have sex. Now compiled as an anthology named Moms Don’t Have Time To, these beautiful, original essays by dozens of bestselling and acclaimed authors speak to the ever-increasing demands on our time, especially during the quarantine, in a unique, literary way. Actress Evangeline Lilly writes about the importance and impact of film. Bestselling author Rene Denfeld focuses on her relationship with food after growing up homeless. Screenwriter and author Lea Carpenter and Suzanne Falter, author, speaker, and podcast host, focus on loss. New York Times bestselling authors Chris Bohjalian and Gretchen Rubin write about the importance of reading. Others write about working out, love and sex, eating and cooking, and more. Join Zibby on her journey through the winding road of quarantine and perhaps you, too, will find time.
