EP 40. Empowered Moms and Personal Growth Events [an interview] with Dr. Emily Jacobs

Do you struggle to take care of yourself?
Do you find difficulty creating boundaries?
Do you know in your gut that there is something more for you IN ADDITION to being a mom?
Bringing women together who have these same thoughts and feelings are what drove Emily Jacobs to begin her community Empowered Moms.
Emily Jacobs is a wife, mother, author, speaker, and doctorate-prepared leadership coach who is on a mission to up-level motherhood, leadership, and life! She created Empowered Moms which is a place where we raise the bars for mothers who know they are worthy of more to overcome fear and guilt, pursue big dreams and live a life they love beyond motherhood.

Her book, Live Your Life for You (Not Your Mom) was on her heart to write for 7 years before it came to life shortly after her own mother passed away, and Emily makes a profound point that this is not a mom bashing book - this is a book for the daughters. This is a book built upon her story of overcoming perfectionist tendencies and stepping into the boundaries of what it looked like to life a life for herself, not just her mother.
If you want more information on the membership community Emily is building more moms (of which I am a part of!) you can connect with her via email at [email protected] or check her link in bio or DMs on her Instagram
