Finding Myself Again After Two Kids | Pilates & Self-Care in China

After having two children close together, I spent so much time caring for my family that I rarely made time for myself. Now that both boys are in school, I’m slowly learning to care for myself again. Come along for a day in my life in Shenzhen, China—from a challenging Pilates session to getting my lashes and nails done, followed by a hot pot dinner with my husband. Along the way, I share my feelings about my body after pregnancy, leaving my kindergarten teaching job, and starting a new chapter through making videos. There’s no dramatic transformation here—just small steps toward feeling stronger, more confident, and a little more like myself. Have you ever felt that you lost yourself while caring for others? What helps you feel like yourself again? I’d love to hear your story. I’m Xixi, a mom of two sharing everyday family life in Shenzhen. Subscribe to follow along. #LifeInChina #MomOfTwo #SelfCare
