A conversation with Leslie Forde
Hello everyone, and welcome! Today I’m thrilled to be speaking with Leslie Forde, author of Repair with Self-Care: Your Guide to the Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Leslie’s groundbreaking framework helps us understand why it’s so challenging to make time for self-care, interests, and healthy relationships while managing work, family, and all the invisible labor of daily life.
As language consultants, freelancers, and professionals who often juggle deadlines, client expectations, and personal responsibilities, we know firsthand how easy it is to let our own needs slide to the bottom of the list. Leslie’s insights help us rethink energy, not just time, so we can maintain our health, sanity, and creativity.
Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs®
Parenting is an intricate balancing act. Such as life as professionals, entrepreneurs, and passionate consultants. And because the priorities at the bottom are never-done, there’s little time for self-care, personal interests and healthy adult relationships. Are you making space for your mental, physical & emotional health?
Let us all learn how to reach the top of the Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs more often. And enjoy while being there.
There are fundamentals that we cannot take for granted. Not any more.
Key concepts from the book:
- Energy management: A fresh perspective that helps us achieve a more balanced and energetic life
- Prioritizing your needs: A framework for physical, emotional, and intellectual self-care that helps prevent burnout
- Reclaiming energy: Strategies to create a more fulfilling and integrated life, even while juggling a career and family
This book is essential for all of us to read. Your Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs reminds us that taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish. This is essential fuel for every role we play, whether as moms, freelancers, consultants, entrepreneurs or caregivers.
If you’ve ever struggled to balance your professional life with your personal well-being, Repair with Self-Care offers not just strategies but hope.
Remember, reclaiming your energy is the first step toward reclaiming your life.
ABUNDANCE is the word chosen by our author today.
This is an aspirational state of mind, a type of thinking. THINK with abundance in your radar. It is life changing!
