Stephanie Applejohn, owner of Merry Maids of Ottawa, joins me this week to talk about a side of self-care that we don't talk about enough.

 

Knowing that we spend, on average, 6 hours a week cleaning our home, I have to ask... what would you do if you had an extra 6 hours? Finding productive ways to free up some time to create memories with your family or taking time for yourself is not selfish!

 

With businesses and corporations encouraging their senior leaders to get assistants, cleaners, and gym memberships so they can focus on the work they should be focusing on and maintaining their mental health, we should also be looking into that in our personal lives.

 

Stephanie gives great tips on how to approach house chores with our children, shares the flexibility of house cleaning services that suits your family's needs, and gives ideas on what to do with that extra time now that the house is clean!

 

If you would like more information on how outsourcing your house work to a cleaning service as part of your self-care, or if you would like to give the gift of getting time back to a new parent, an aging parent, or a good friend that is going through a hard time, you can contact Stephanie at www.merrymaidsottawa.ca . You can also follow Stephanie on Facebook, TikTok, and IG, and connect with her through LinkedIn.
