Let’s talk about self-care, shall we? But wait—don’t roll your eyes thinking this is another “treat yourself” spiel. I’m here to shake up what self-care really looks like and make it fun because, babe, you deserve it!
If you’re balancing kids, work, relationships, and the million other things life throws your way, this one’s for you. You’re out here keeping everyone else afloat, but who’s looking out for YOU? Spoiler alert: it needs to be you.
What is Blackout Bingo?
Say hello to your new favorite self-care tool: Blackout Bingo! 🎉 This isn’t your grandma’s bingo game—it’s a customizable board that puts you first. You fill in the squares with activities that bring you joy and fill your emotional cup.
Think:✨ Dancing like nobody’s watching✨ Yoga or just a good stretch session✨ A mindful, uninterrupted cup of coffee✨ Journaling or reflecting on your day✨ A booze-free cocktail (of course I had to include this!)
The idea? Check off just one square a day. That’s it. Self-care doesn’t have to be a production—it just has to happen.
My Self-Care Struggles (Yes, Even Me!)
Let’s be real—preaching self-care is one thing, but practicing it? That’s where it gets tricky, even for me. My mornings are 5:30 AM workouts because it’s the only “me time” I can grab. But that often means sacrificing sleep (hello, grouchy mom vibes).
The truth? Self-care isn’t always pretty, but it’s necessary. And it doesn’t have to be a massage or spa day (though if that’s your jam, go for it!). Sometimes it’s just 5 minutes of deep breathing in the car before you tackle the next thing.
Listen or Watch for ALL the Deets
If you’re loving this, you’ve got to check out my latest episode of ShameOver: The Drink Less Podcast. I’m breaking down how self-care isn’t selfish, sharing my own struggles, and giving you all the tips to make self-care a daily habit—even when life feels impossible.

Reflect, Recharge, and Finish the Year Strong
Before we sprint into the New Year, take a sec to reflect:
✨ What were your wins this year?
✨ What do you want to improve?
✨ How do you want to feel heading into next year?
No guilt. No shame. Just a little love for yourself.
And if drinking less is part of your goals (you know I’ve got you!), let’s celebrate every bit of progress. Small steps lead to big changes, and I’m here cheering you on every step of the way.
Let’s Do This Together
So here’s the deal:
Listen to the podcast or watch the episode for all the juicy tips.
Show up for yourself one square at a time.
Because you’re worth it. Your future self is doing a happy dance just thinking about how amazing you’re going to feel.
Cheers to self-care (and a mindful, booze-free cocktail)! 🖤 and cheers to you!
