Without it, I think we’re all going to go a little bit crazy.

I feel instantly better and energized. I’m ready to take on my responsibilities as a mom.”</p><p>“Life is all about balance as a mom. I think staying organized is really helpful; counting my blessings when it gets stressful. So yeah, really managing my time and making sure, you know, I give myself a little bit like when I start my day, I start it with a prayer, and I do something that will make me feel calm before I do anything for everyone,” she answered when asked about how she juggles motherhood with work and self-care.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Ue7mgvyM8/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A11191043%2C%22ls%22%3A11190570.900000006%2C%22le%22%3A11191017.099999994%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Sarah, aside from acting, has dabbled into furniture design through a collaboration with Cebu-based designer Vito Selma.
