Balancing Motherhood and Personal Goals: How to deal with mom guilt and find fulfillment | Episode 11
Manage episode 425136442 series 3566438
Does becoming a mom mean that we have to lose ourselves and our passions?
🎙️ For many of us who thought that our multi-faceted interests would fade as we stepped into motherhood on account of our deep love for our children, the fact that we can both want to be with them 24/7 while still yearning for the things that used to make us whole, can create intense internal turmoil.
In today’s episode, we talk about:
👉 The lingering need for personal goals, passions, & fulfillment outside of motherhood
👉 The societal norms that villainize this need, leading to mommy guilt and shame
👉 Gentle ways to re-discover our passions & how make time for them even if we feel like an overwhelmed mom
👉 The key role that our self-fulfillment plays in the healthy development of our children
Join me so that we can normalize being multi-layered and finding balance as a mom.
Together we can take steps in the direction of overcoming mom guilt!
The reality of motherhood is very different than what the media and society have us believe. And it’s much more balanced and healthy like that!
