That we don't have to do it all. We don't have to do it all. Well, we can half-ass some of this stuff. We can say no to some of this stuff. And we can just sludge through knowing that it's enough. Do I continue to show up? Yes. Do I continue to use my tools in my tool belt? Yes. And do I still feel like crap sometimes? Yes. But that's okay." – Brooke Jean   " You might be doing all the right things, my love. And still feel like crap and when we feel like this, it's okay to do nothing. I don't have to figure it all out. Will I continue to show up for myself? Yes. Will I continue to use my tools? Yes. Will I continue to do the things that matter most to me, like taking care of my family, taking care of my mental health, and showing up for my clients? You bet." - Brooke Jean     You can connect with Brooke Jean through her: Website: Brooke Jean LLC Facebook: Brooke Jean LinkedIn: Brooke Jean Twitter: Brooke Jean Instagram: @brookejeanunperfected     LEAVE A REVIEW   Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brookejeanunperfected/ Facebook private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MLALTL Website: https://www.brookejeanllc.com/   Join us!  The Unperfected Mama Group Program  here: https://www.brookejeanllc.com/group-coaching
