Prior to leaving corporate the only time I really spent on myself was my 30 minute workout. These workouts were out of necessity - to somewhat save my mental health - they weren’t something I was truly present in. I was running from that to my next Teams call (that Teams ding still gives me PTSD!) Once I left my job I started making ME a priority again - several times a day. I extended my movement sessions - and sometimes did TWO a day when I would walk and lift weights. I started journaling and doing breathing exercises again. I put myself first SEVERAL times a day now. You may be thinking “that’s easy - you don’t have a 9-5 job so you have more time” and while that may be true - if you think YOU don’t have time I am going to challenge you. Making time for yourself and your well being doesn’t mean hours on end. Here are habits you can start adding into your day that slowly start to stack up. 🖊️ Gratitude journal upon waking up or going to bed - 5 minutes 📒 Daily planner (writing is scientifically better for you!) to set your priority lists and ensure a successful day - 5 minutes 🧘🏻‍♀️ Breathing exercises or meditation upon waking or going to bed - 5 minutes 🚶‍♀️ Walking around your block 3 times a day (morning, lunch, early evening) - 10 minutes 📚 Read 10 pages of a book (personal development encouraged!) - 10 minutes And if you STILL think you don’t have time - check that social media timer on your phone. Guaranteed if you are seeing this post you have spent 5-10 minutes on here when you could be doing something instead for you! Share below your favorite ways to put yourself at the top of your to-do list!! #selfcareisntselfish #selfcare #habit #habitstacking #treatyoself #mindfulness #healthyhabitsforlife #healthy #youhavetime

While I use good skin care (thank you @herbalfacefood) I think it’s 10% of why my skin looks healthy. The other 90% I attribute to: 🍓🥬🥦My eating habits - 30+ different plants a week. Nutrients and antioxidants are crucial for skin 💦 Hydration - reduces dryness, helps maintain elasticity 😴 sleep - helps cellular repair 🏋🏻‍♀️Exercise - improves circulation 🧘🏻‍♀️Stress management - reduces inflammation 👎🏼🥂🍷Alcohol accelerates aging of skin, dehydrates you, and can trigger skin inflammation Bottom line - you can buy all the best skin care products you want but if your lifestyle doesn’t support healthy habits your skin care isn’t going to save your skin! What’s your favorite tip for healthy skin?? Share with me below! #motherhoodunplugged #skincare #beautyproducts #beautytips #womenshealth #thisis40 #healthylife

Why I Live a Sober(ish) Life 🍷➡️🚫

I love a good glass of red wine, an Aperol spritz on a summer day, or a well-crafted cocktail. But as I’ve entered my 40s, my relationship with alcohol has completely changed.

One drink? My heart races.
One drink? My sleep is wrecked.
One drink? I feel off for days.

Alcohol and perimenopause just don’t mix. Here’s why:

🚫 Disrupts Sleep – Even one drink can reduce REM sleep, leading to more night wakings and next-day exhaustion.
🔥 Increases Hot Flashes & Night Sweats – Alcohol dilates blood vessels, making temperature regulation worse.
💔 Spikes Anxiety & Heart Rate – Alcohol affects cortisol and blood sugar, leading to that dreaded 2 AM wake-up with racing thoughts (and heart!)
🛑 Slows Hormone Metabolism – Your liver prioritizes breaking down alcohol over balancing estrogen, which can worsen symptoms.
🧠 Impacts Brain Health – Alcohol can increase brain fog and forgetfulness, two things that already ramp up in perimenopause.

So, do I still drink? Occasionally, but I do so knowing the consequences. Most of the time, though, I choose not to—because honestly, it’s just not worth it to me anymore.

Anyone else noticing this shift with alcohol? Let’s chat in the comments! ⬇️✨

Last weekend at the @detroitmoms writers retreat we had a prompt to ask Chat GPT to create a “wanted mom friend ad” for us based on all the inputs we gave it about ourselves.

If this isn’t a “Meet Karissa” post I don’t know what is?! 😂

Before leaving corporate my world revolved around my job. I was a high achiever, could get sh!t done, dependable, a thought leader and several people’s go to. At that time success to me was tied to my job. It was what I prided myself on. But all the things I truly loved and valued above everything fell to the back burner. Most importantly I fell to the last in line. My self care and own personal development happened after everything else - which meant most of the time it didn’t happen. My daily movement was the only thing I did for me but that was because I knew if I didn’t do at least that all hell would break loose. After I left corporate it took time to unwind feeling guilty about doing things for me. But now I have embraced my new routine and have less guilt. My days look like a LOT of self care. I move my body (without a rush to hurry and be done because someone might have emailed me!), I journal, I read, I do breath work. THEN I work. When we are home together as a family I am present. I am not checking emails or sitting at dinner on a conference call. I am able to just BE. I can pick my daughter up from school and volunteer at class parties. I am able to do the things that MATTER. Putting myself first doesn’t come with a sacrifice to my family or job - it ENHANCES my relationships and my work. Because I am not pouring from an empty cup. The overflow from my cup can pour out to everything else important in my life. So if you are struggling to implement self care because you feel like it’s selfish - I see you. But I promise you once you make the shift everything starts to get poured into - because your cup will be overflowing. #loveyourself #selfcare #selfcareisntselfish #realmomsofinstagram #detroitmom #detroitmoms #momlife #workingmom #motherhood
