Self-care doesn’t have to be a luxury retreat, a perfectly planned routine, or something that gives you more anxiety than relief.

In this episode of Who Let Me Do This?, Saidee breaks down her real-life approach to self-care for working moms — including what actually helps when you’re anxious, burned out, touched out, and running on fumes. From Mom Time Off (MTO) (trademarked by the incredible @the_car_mom) to low-effort, high-impact rituals, this episode is a judgment-free guide to taking care of yourself without overcomplicating it.

Saidee shares her favorite self-care ideas — from five-minute fixes to more intentional investments — and explains why rest, flexibility, and meeting yourself where you are matter more than any “perfect” routine.
