This episode is for you if you find yourself bound by the “rules” of how you’re supposed to show up in the world. This week, I share reflections about a recent realization that I may not be a true introvert. I reflect on my thoughts, how this plays out in real time, and offer questions to help you if you’ve found yourself living your life defined by a label or title that doesn’t serve you and the life that you desire.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re failing as a mom, come a little closer. The culture teaches us that motherhood should be innate, but like any other skill, it requires learning, practice, and growth.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the evolution of motherhood and how shifting your perspective can transform your parenting journey. I explore the belief that has helped me thrive as a mom: mothering is a skill.

We cover:

• Why adopting the belief that mothering is a skill matters;
• The power of your motherhood image;
• Three common misconceptions that keep moms stuck in survival and disempowerment;
• The difference between motherhood and self-problems; and
• My GEM framework – a simple process to help you separate motherhood challenges from personal struggles, rediscover yourself, and rewrite your story with compassion.

It’s time to thrive and rewrite your motherhood story. If you’re ready to align your ambitions with your values while thriving as a mom, I’d love to support you through private coaching.
