Oooh, Lorie, thank you for adding to this idea of self-soothe vs self-care. Another distinction for me are acts of loving myself versus abandoning myself. A while ago I wrote out a list of all the ways that I show love to myself and it became SUPER clear how the default ways I comfort myself were really not serving me. The beautiful descriptions of how you self-soothe your little wee one all sound like delightful acts of self-love.
I really appreciate how you and Benjamin show up and allow yourselves to be vulnerable along with the rest of us.
