CEOMOM Podcast

Hey Mama! Just checking in. How are you doing? In this episode, we talk through what it means to push through the pain or keep going even after burnout. Using the Naomi Osaka story as the backdrop, we explore why it is important and even okay to walk away from any situation that is threatening your mental health, even if it means work or familial relationships. This episode will give women tips on how to identify the signs of burnout and how to manage mental health. We will also talk about what it means to check on your sisters, I mean REALLY check on your sisters.

Myth: You should push through the pain and keep going even when your mental health is threatened. It is better to finish than quit.

Hey Mama, do you struggle with mom guilt? Mom guilt is something that is all too familiar to many of us. Usually, it is an exaggerated feeling of inadequacy that isn’t backed by any major circumstance. We feel guilty, because our children had macaroni and cheese two nights in a row, or we missed a few soccer games due to work. Dayna Reed has written what we believe is an important book, Guilt-Free Mommy, that tackles the issue of mom guilt head on. Reed combines relatability with humor and practicality to help moms identify mom guilt in their own lives, and stop the habit of normalizing these often unhealthy thoughts.

In Episode 18, Melinda Dunbar and Vonna Matthews are back to debunk more myths related to being a wife, a mother and a career woman. This week we’re going deeper with our self care conversation by delving into the topic of soul care. We are debunking the myth that soul care is just one component of self care.
