Summary
There are so many powerhouse MOMS in our community, and if there is one theme I've heard almost every single mom I know talk about struggling with, it's MOM GUILT.
Today we're tackling the topic of guilt and why (whether you are a mom or not) the expectations we put on ourselves can cripple our ability to make the impact we know we're meant to make.
My guest is Shira Nelson, the founder of MomBeyondBaby where she helps moms become their best and live a life of fulfillment. Shira has coached thousands of moms across the globe through fitness and business and nothing gets her more excited than mamas finding their true purpose after babies.
In this episode we talk about:
- The different challenges that come with different stages of parenthood (and how they parallel the entrepreneurship journey!)
- What "mom guilt" really stems from and whether or not it ever goes away
- How investing time and care into yourself isn't just for you, it's for the little ones who are watching you
