32. Self Care For Sports Moms During The Busy Holiday Season28 nov 202544 min

In this episode of The Sports Mom Playbook, hosts Eritza and Rachel get real about what self-care actually looks like in the busy holiday season when you are living at the fields, juggling tournaments, car line, work, and home life. From weekly nail painting rituals and slow coffee mornings to Factor meals, mid-day workouts, clean kitchen resets, and family dinners with phones put away, they share simple, realistic ways they refill their cups without needing a full spa day.

They also talk about holiday spending boundaries, why they broke up with Uber Eats, how to protect your peace with phones and notifications, and the power of having friends who really fill your cup and keep you grounded.
