Moms are Human, Too: Why Self-Care is a Good Thing

As a younger mom, Kari Kampakis was constantly busy doing everything she could for her kids and didn't believe rest was necessary. But over time, she recognized the need for healthy rhythms to bring her life back into balance and observed how the older we get, the more our body dictates what we can and cannot do. On this Focus on the Family broadcast, Kari shares the lessons she learned as she looked to Jesus as her model, who demonstrated the importance of rest and recuperation. She describes how moms can be intentional about choosing joy in their hectic lives and offers the encouraging reminder that with God's help, they can avoid being overwhelmed by circumstances as they depend upon Him for all of their needs.
