Serena Williams is learning how to be her own biggest fan.
The tennis legend recently admitted that it’s hard for her to practice self-care when she’s focused on being the best mom to daughters, Olympia, 6, and Adira River, 10 months, who she shares with husband Alexis Ohanian.
“Being ok to take time for myself is something I have always struggled with,” she began her June 15 Instagram caption. “I finally started started being ok to take an hour (during nap time) away from my kids and work to do something for myself.”
She added, “I always feel guilty leaving them but I have to also remember taking care of myself, will only help me take better care of them.”
Luckily, the 42-year-old has the best cheerleaders. Serena revealed that during a recent girls’ trip to Paris, a friend treated her to a spa day, where she underwent a skin-tightening procedure.
“She knows after 2 babies I have been self conscious of my tummy,” the retired athlete continued. “The results have been amazing. I can see progress with my skin going back to normal and my confidence coming back.”
