AP 591: My DSL Repeats || Growth Spurt

In this candid coaching call with Kate, a stay-at-home mom of two young children, we unravel the layers of perfectionism in parenthood and how we can treat ourselves with self-compassion. 
Kate shares her experiences of navigating the challenges of motherhood amidst major life transitions, including a cross-country move and the transition from working to full-time parenting. I encourage Kate to level with herself about her circumstances and redefine what it means to be a good mom within the context of her reality.
Through practical exercises and reframing techniques, Kate recognizes that being a good mom doesn't mean being perfect—it means showing up with love, kindness, and a willingness to learn and grow.
