Ever wonder if parenting gets any easier? The answer is yes and no.

Baby stage:

🥴 It was hard with the multiple feedings and nap schedules; they need you all the time because their life depends on you.

💕 It was easy because all they wanted was to cuddle and snuggle with you, and that was enough. 

Toddler stage:

🥴 It was hard because of the potty training and the "three-nager" tantrums. They learned to have a voice, saying "no," and figuring out what boundaries they could push (i.e., can I stick my finger inside the wall outlet?)

💕It was easy because now I didn't have to lug around as much baby stuff, and our schedule seemed to open up more because we were down to one nap a day. They still thought every new experience was cool and interesting. 

Elementary Age:

🥴 When my kids started elementary school, there was homework, after-school activities, etc. It was challenging to manage a schedule for myself and my kids while also trying really hard not to compare myself to other moms who were sharing what their kids were doing as after-school activities. 

💕 Parenting became a little easier because my kids were even more independent. They could pack their snacks and lunch, brush their own teeth, and be responsible for their things without needing me. 

Pre-teens/Tweens:

Tune into today's episode, where I share my #1 insight into how parenting pre-teens is easy and hard/stretching and what you can do as a working mom to navigate this life stage with confidence and grace.

Welcome to "The Empowered Working Mom Revolution" podcast! In today's episode, "Beyond Guilt: How to Set Boundaries and Thrive," we’re exploring how setting boundaries helps you reclaim your time, energy, power, and happiness. 

We'll explore three key aspects of setting boundaries: Identifying Your Needs, Communicating Your Boundaries, and Overcoming the Mom Guilt.

First, we'll dive into understanding your own needs as a career-driven mom. It's easy to prioritize others over ourselves, but taking the time to identify what truly matters to you is crucial for setting effective boundaries.

Next, we'll tackle the art of communicating boundaries. From negotiating flexible work hours to saying no to additional commitments, effective communication is key to advocating for yourself and your needs.

Finally, we'll address the elephant in the room: mom guilt. I'll share a personal story about my own journey to setting boundaries and how it transformed my life for the better.

We'll also dive into the research that reinforces the importance of setting boundaries for overall well-being and success as a career-driven mom.

So grab your favorite cup of coffee, get cozy, and join me as we explore how to set boundaries so that you can thrive in both your career and personal life and embrace your power as an empowered working mom.

Don't forget to subscribe and share this podcast with other career-driven moms in your life. Together, we can support each other in setting boundaries and thriving in our careers and motherhood.

Until next time, take care and remember to embrace your power as an empowered momma.

If you're feeling overwhelmed and guilty about being a working mom, then today's episode is for you. I share three awesome strategies that can help you break free from mom guilt and regain your confidence.

If you're anything like me, you've probably experienced mom guilt at least once in your working mom life. Mom guilt is a sneaky emotion that can trap you into feeling like you're not "doing enough" or "being a good mom," which is totally demoralizing. Here's the thing, though: Mom guilt doesn't have to be part of your vocabulary or experience anymore. You can break free from it! And when you do break free from it, you'll feel confident as a working mom, your relationships with your kids and spouse will be stronger because you're more present, and you'll be a superstar at work because the feeling of mom guilt doesn't bog you down. 

If you're ready to recover your confident self by breaking free from the mom guilt, then book a sales call with me to learn about how we can work together through one-on-one coaching.
