In this episode, I chat about navigating the ongoing topic of "work life balance" as a mom who cares about her family and her children (of course!) AND as a mom who wants to thrive and flourish in her career. I am strive to do my very best with both, and it's not always easy. I believe we CAN do both well, but that it does take ongoing reflecting, adaptability, and putting one foot in front of the other as we move through different seasons of life. I definitely don't have this all have this figured out (who does?!), and I will always be on a quest to find harmony & alignment with the priorities that I value most in my life. I pay attention to moms I look up to who have gone before me, I think about how I want each day to FEEL, I remember my kids are only little once, and I ask for help! Here's to normalizing that we all do it different and supporting other mamas every step of the way.

Episode 18: Breaking Through Your Biggest Fears With Starting Something New

In this episode, I talk through the specific fears I hear from others when starting something new. It's amazing to me how similar all our fears are, and they usually boil down to:

"I'm worried about what others will think" (please refer back to Episode 8 for this entire topic! - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-8-im-too-worried-about-what-other-people-think/id1561020036?i=1000522876068)

"I'm worried I won't be good at it" - you're right, you won't be good at it in the beginning! As you take action and fail forward, you will get better and better.

And....

"Who will join me?"

"I don't want to be salesy."

"I'm worried about social media."

"I'm not far enough on my own journey yet."

I talk candidly through all these fears, and my hope is that this leaves you more courageous, empowered, and inspired to take action THROUGH the fears. Action creates confidence (not the other way around!). You are not alone in these fears, and you have what you need within you, it just takes time and consistency in moving through them.
