Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy.

I'm your host, Sarah Dean. I'm here to give you and other

passionate, driven, unapologetic moms, stories, tools, resources, and a little bit of humor to help

you lead more powerful, positive, and purposeful lives every damn day. So let's dive in.

Mamas, this is another greatest hits episode. So you're going to see these greatest hits episode pop up in your feed from time to time. Over the last eight years

and well over 850 episodes, I get a lot of the same questions over and over. Sometimes I'll make

a new episode to talk about an old topic in a new way. And sometimes I just

look back into my archives and I realize, oh, wait, I already created something really good that's

talking about that. So I've decided to start resharing some of that really great content.

Some of these are going to be my very best episodes, our most downloaded episodes that I'm

going to repurpose, reproduce to give you some of the best content that we've

ever created in order to bring you the support that you need to make today a little bit better

than yesterday. So even if you've heard this episode before, I promise you it hits different

if you're in a different season of life than when you heard it the first time. So listen and

learn and learn how to apply these episodes in a different moment in this exact

moment that you're in right now, wherever you're standing right now, however you're standing

there, because I promise you, if you open up your ears, you're going to hear it a little

different this time.

All right, let's dig in.
