How To Not Be So Hard On Yourself

In today's episode, I share why being hard on yourself isn't serving your family, and how to develop a gentler relationship with yourself as a mother. Whether you're beating yourself up about serving chicken nuggets instead of a home-cooked meal, comparing your messy house to perfectly curated Instagram homes, or feeling guilty for taking time for yourself - I'll show you how to break free from that harsh inner critic and embrace a more compassionate approach to motherhood.

In this episode:

  • I reveal the common moments when we tend to be our harshest critics
  • You'll learn why that inner critic voice shows up and what it really means
  • I share practical strategies to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion
  • I explain why your children need a real mom who models resilience, not perfection.
  • If you find yourself mentally replaying your mistakes at bedtime, comparing yourself to other moms' highlight reels, or believing that being hard on yourself is good motivation - this episode will help you learn how to treat yourself with the same grace you'd offer a dear friend.
