What happens when you combine the stress of motherhood with the challenges of feeling alone? Enter Nadine Steele - a mom, wife, and coach who's navigated these waters with grace and resilience, and now, she’s here to share her journey with us. Nadine is passionately devoted to helping mothers find joy in their roles while creating supportive communities around them.
We dive into an engaging conversation with Nadine about the importance of building your own Mom Village. Picture this: less stress, more support, and an environment filled with love and understanding. Sounds nice, doesn't it? Nadine shares how she went from being an isolated mother in a foreign country to creating a thriving network of supportive moms. She not only talks about her own experiences but also provides practical tips on setting boundaries and reaching out to other moms.
But we all know reaching out can be scary, right? What if you're rejected or judged? Fear not! The conversation takes a turn into the realm of confidence-building and overcoming fear of rejection. With Nadine’s expert guidance, we explore how to formulate a way to reach out that avoid sparking fear of rejection and increase the chances of getting a positive response. By the end of our chat, you'll feel empowered to create your own mom village, equipped with tools to build connections and foster a joy-filled journey through motherhood.
