A heartfelt conversation with Eileen King, BSN and certified Neural Integration System Therapy practitioner.

Michelle is joined by her big sister Eileen King — a mother of seven, former labor and delivery nurse (for over 20 years), and functional neurology practitioner — for a raw, heartfelt conversation about what self-care really looks like when you're in survival mode.

Whether you're a single parent working the night shift, walking through divorce, or just feeling overwhelmed by life, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in faith, science, and lived experience.

Michelle and Eileen share practical, real-life ways to care for yourself when life feels heavy:

1. Lower the Bar — Self-care in hard seasons isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what’s necessary
2. Move Your Body — Walking, dancing, and simple movement help regulate your nervous system and reduce stress
3. Create Small Wins — Focus on one task, one corner, or one step at a time to build momentum
4. Ask for Help — True strength is found in humility; you were never meant to do this alone
5. Receive Support — Let others show up for you—sometimes self-care is allowing yourself to be cared for
6. Let Go of Perfection — A lived-in home and simple meals are enough in hard seasons
7. Process, Don’t Suppress — Emotions need an outlet; healing happens when we allow them to move through us
8. Stay Connected — Isolation deepens overwhelm; community brings grounding and support
9. Care for Your Body First — Sleep, hydration, and nourishment are foundational—not optional
10. Lean Into Prayer — Even the simplest “God, help me” is powerful and enough
