In this Janette Behind-the-Scenes, I’m opening up about something too many women — especially caregivers, entrepreneurs, and high achievers — struggle with: taking time for ourselves without guilt. After juggling long hospital days with my mom, back-to-back shoots, and endless deadlines, I’ve learned that “me time” isn’t indulgent — it’s essential. 💖 Whether it’s a quiet moment with your morning coffee, a walk, quick trip, solo spa day, or simply saying no when your energy is low — these pauses refuel your strength, creativity, and joy. ✨ Because when you take care of YOU, you can show up better for everyone else. 🎥 Tune in for a raw, real reminder that self-care is not selfish — it’s survival.

We’ll look at how the Blue Jays’ run in the 2025 World Series is drawing new female fans, what it means for sport engagement, and why the women’s perspective is becoming integral to the future of baseball.
