Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I should be doing more… I should be more patient… I should be like her…”? That cycle of “shoulds” is exhausting—and it’s keeping you stuck in a Mom Identity Crisis.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by licensed therapist, author, and coach Amy Grace, a mom of six who knows firsthand the weight of unrealistic expectations. Amy shares how moms can stop “shoulding” themselves and start parenting on purpose—building a motherhood that actually fits your strengths, values, and vision.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, buried under guilt, or lost in motherhood, this episode is packed with the perspective shifts you need to find freedom and feel like yourself again.

Key Takeaways

Cheering you on 🎉,
Aubree
