We’ve touched on aspects of self-care before, but today we’re getting into the meat and potatoes (or should we say, coffee and creamer?) of it! Whether you or your partner struggle with stress, anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed, we’re sharing practical ways to support each other, stay connected, and build healthy self-care habits together.
