Welcoming October to Thee Self Care Mom Society
Welcome to October, a month filled with crisp air, falling leaves, and a renewed focus on self-care. There’s no better time to embrace self-care than now, and Thee Self Care Mom Society is here to guide you through this season.
It’s been 30 days since we launched, and I’m thrilled to see how our community has grown into a supportive space where moms come together to share their stories, wins, and challenges. Whether you’re a new mom navigating the ups and downs of motherhood or a seasoned pro looking to recharge, Thee Self Care Mom Society has something for everyone.
With this platform, I envisioned creating a supportive and uplifting community specifically for moms, where we could come together to share practical tips, expert resources, and self-care strategies. It's not just about offering inspiration; it’s about forming a tribe of like-minded women who truly understand the balancing act of motherhood and the importance of prioritizing self-care. It’s been so therapeutic and amazing for me to curate this space, and I take great pride in the connections we’re building here.
I am incredibly proud of this community and the incredible women I’ve met on this journey. The engagement, the stories shared, and the support we offer one another have made this platform more than I ever dreamed it could be.
I hope that being part of Thee Self Care Mom Society has been as fulfilling for you as it has been for me to create.
As we step into October, I encourage you to make self-care a priority and embrace all that this season has to offer.
Let’s continue to support each other and grow together.
Please enjoy the blog, and thank you for being here with me on this journey!
Our Lotus Logo: A Symbol of Growth and Resilience
This October, I’m excited to share that our official logo has debuted! Our new symbol of Thee Self Care Mom Society features a beautiful lotus flower, and let me tell you why this flower means so much to me. The lotus rises through the mud to bloom, a powerful symbol of perseverance, growth, and resilience. As moms, we go through so much, often pushing through challenges to bloom for our families and ourselves. I wanted the lotus to represent the strength and beauty that each of us possesses, even in our most difficult moments.
One of the most meaningful symbols for Thee Self Care Mom Society is the lotus flower, which is why it proudly represents our community and mission. To truly appreciate its significance, I encourage you to watch this powerful video about the history of the lotus flower.
In this video, you’ll learn about how the lotus has long been a symbol of perseverance, strength, and rebirth across different cultures. It rises through the mud to bloom, embodying the idea that we can overcome challenges and grow into something beautiful, no matter the circumstances.
This powerful metaphor is what I wanted to capture for our community—a reminder that, despite the obstacles we face as moms, we have the strength to rise and thrive.
Take a few minutes to watch the video and reflect on what the lotus symbolizes for you. Let it serve as a reminder that, just like the lotus, we too can emerge from difficult situations with grace and resilience.
Thee Self Care Mom Fall Challenge
We’ve come so far together, and I can’t believe we’re already deep into our Fall Self Care Challenge! This challenge is all about mixing daily and weekly practices that help us care for ourselves mentally, physically, and emotionally, as we soak up everything this beautiful season has to offer. For those of you participating, how’s it going? I love hearing your updates on what you’re doing to make self-care a priority this season.
Personally, I’m focusing on baking and exploring new fall-inspired recipes. I was so excited to try a new dinner recipe "Fall Meatballs" using Thai Yellow Curry sauce and Trader Joe’s famous Pumpkin butter and, for the first time ever, I'm also excited to trying to bake homemade banana bread! Baking has always brought me joy, and I promised myself I’d get back into it as a way to nurture myself.
If you’re looking for some inspiration for getting into the Fall Challenge, here are a few ideas you can incorporate into your routines:
✨Weekly Self-Care✨
🌸 Reflect on your week through journaling 📝 🌸 Pamper yourself with a skincare routine or a long, relaxing bath 🛀🏽
🌸 Unplug from social media and try a new hobby or recipe
✨Daily Self-Care✨
🌸 Move your body—whether it's yoga, stretching, or a walk outside 🏃🏽♀️
🌸 Practice gratitude 🙏🏽 🌸 Nourish yourself with healthy meals and stay hydrated 💧
Let’s continue to embrace this challenge and make time for ourselves. Remember, these small steps build up to create a life where self-care isn’t a luxury but a necessary part of our routine.

Blooming Reflections: Embracing Self-Care This October
As we journey through October, let’s not forget how vital mental wellness is. Self-care is not a luxury, mamas—it’s a necessity. We pour so much into our families, and we deserve to pour into ourselves too. Remember, nurturing yourself helps you nurture others, and it’s okay to prioritize yourself, and as we wrap up this month's blog, I want to leave you with a few important self-care reminders that can make a big difference in your day-to-day life. They are my goto tips!
- Prioritize Sleep: Getting quality rest is one of the most essential self-care practices for us moms. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and create a cozy, restful environment that helps you wind down. Try establishing a consistent bedtime routine, limiting screen time before bed, and using relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to help you drift off peacefully.
- Embrace Micro-Moments: I get it, sometimes, finding large chunks of time for self-care feels impossible. When that happens, focus on those little micro-moments throughout your day. It could be as simple as taking a few deep breaths during a break, enjoying a healthy snack, or stepping outside for a quick dose of fresh air. These small acts of self-care can add up and make a big impact on your overall well-being.
- Delegate and Ask for Help: Remember, mama, you don’t have to do it all alone. It’s okay to delegate tasks or ask for help from your partner, family, or friends. Not only does this free up time for you to care for yourself, but it also sets a great example for your children about the importance of shared responsibility and self-care.
Let’s continue to prioritize ourselves so that we can show up as our best selves for those we love.
Thank you all for coming aboard this self-care journey with me. Let’s continue to build each other up and embrace the self-care we all deserve. I’m so proud of this community and the love and support we’ve created together, and I can’t wait to see what November has in store for us!
Love, Light & Self-Care,
Thee Self Care Mom

Thee Self Care Mom, that’s me and and I’m on a mission to inspire and support moms in prioritizing their own well-being. After years of advocating for my family, I realized the importance of self-care and the need to redefine my identity outside of being a wife and mom. I, try my best to promote self-care practices, mental health awareness, and personal empowerment, providing a safe space for moms to connect, share, and grow.
