In this Supermom Short, Amy Grace guides listeners through a quick, meaningful self-check-in using her HEART framework—an easy five-step method to help moms pause, reflect, and care for themselves intentionally.

Each letter in HEART represents one area to gently assess:

  • H – Health: How is your body feeling? Are you tired, hungry, or tense? Take a few moments to stretch, hydrate, and rest.

  • E – Emotions: What feelings are showing up for you right now? Naming emotions reduces stress and models emotional regulation for your kids.

  • A – Awareness: What’s taking up most of your mental space? Doing a “brain dump” or simplifying your to-do list can help you focus.

  • R – Relationships: Who have you connected with this week? Reach out to someone who fills your cup—it makes a real difference.

  • T – Take Action: What’s one small, tangible thing you can do today to nurture yourself? Even five minutes of mindfulness, music, or movement counts.

Amy emphasizes that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Research from the Journal of Family Psychology (2022) shows that moms who check in regularly on their well-being report lower stress and higher resilience.

Key Takeaways

  • Self-care can be simple. A few minutes of awareness each day can make a big impact.

  • Naming emotions helps regulate them. It’s not weakness—it’s modeling emotional intelligence for your kids.

  • Your body tells the truth. Listen to it before it burns out.

  • Connection matters. Social support reduces isolation and boosts maternal mental health.

  • Tiny actions lead to transformation. A five-minute walk or pause for breath can shift your entire day.
