Boosting your Mom-fidence as a Mature Mom

As a mature mom, confidence is one of the most outstanding qualities you must possess. Mom-fidence (or Mom Confidence) is when you, as a woman and a mother, after age 35, begin to feel sure of yourself and your ability to care for and raise your child through the challenges and setbacks of life as well as the opinions of others.

I would love for you to appreciate the fact that if you have your baby after the age of 35, you bring a lot to the table. You likely have a job, your degree, and a lot of wisdom you have gathered over the years. You are not where you used to be at 20.

Confidence comes from experience: do you remember when you were learning how to drive? How was it? The fact is you get better with time. The same thing applies to motherhood. There is no manual on how to do it, so you must learn on the job. Remember that you have unique abilities that make you the best mom to your kids.

Are you struggling with mom-fidence? Today’s episode is for you. I share two tips that will help you boost your confidence.

· You need to learn how to tune out the other voices effectively. Regardless of your stage as a mom; you must learn how to filter the different voices that come to you. People have a way of pouring out their wisdom to you, and it is upon you to know what to keep and what to trash. Differentiate between valuable and useless voices.

· Keep away from comparison and competition. Motherhood is not a competition, and it’s not a one-size fit. When you compare yourself to another mom, you may look at her and think she's doing an excellent job. So, you see her as an excellent mom and compare yourself and begin to think you're average or bad.
