Ep. 14: The Pressure to Do It All with Heather Mcquiston


Listen Later

The pressure can add up can't it? The different roles we fill and the various people we care for can be a lot. So what can we do when it feels like it's too much to carry, too much to hold? Join me today for a coaching session with Heather. She's a certified holistic health coach working with others on their transformational journey, she's well on her way to earning her master's degree in acupuncture later this year, and as if that wasn't enough, she's a new mom. We're getting into the demands of motherhood, the reality that comes with starting and owning a business, and the ongoing pressure to do it ALL. If you've ever felt like it's just too much, it is! So let's lighten that load!

We're exploring:

  • What it can look like when you only trust yourself
  • Children as a reflection of you; what parenthood teaches us about ourselves
  • Flight and fight: Why the "all or nothing" pattern can be a symptom of both
  • Heather's journey with motherhood, her ups and downs
  • Holding space for others v. holding others and why that distinction can lighten your load
  • When others rely on us and how that pressure can add up to be too much at times
  • An easy exercise in removing the pressures and allowing trust to come in
  • And so much more!
