Lauren Williams is all about helping other moms. As the co-owner of Belly Bliss—a pregnancy center that offers resources for expectant mothers and their families—she wanted to create a space for moms to come together and connect, enjoy their time, and rejuvenate. Having recently given birth to a new baby, Lauren knows the importance of making time for herself.

Lauren’s Me Time:

One of my favorite things to do is to have a massage at Belly Bliss. When I’m not at the studio, I love to take time to work out or go get pedicures with my oldest son, Leo.

How do you carve out Me Time?

I have to put it on my schedule. If it doesn’t go on the family calendar, something will for sure come up!

Why is Me Time important to you?

It helps me catch my breath and, after I get that time to relax, I’m always so excited to get back to my boys for hugs and kisses.

What’s your mom must have?

My girlfriends! I have a great group of friends and we make time to see each other often. We have so much fun together. We love to grab lunch or brunch; we can sit for hours and just chat.

What’s the best advice you”ve ever been given?

Trust your instincts. As a parent, they never fail me; I always know just what my boys need.
