🎙️ Episode 48 – Managing (Your Own) Expectations for Success with Liz Kent

Licensed therapist and maternal mental health coach Liz Kent joins host Hannah Morgan to share how unrealistic expectations can sabotage your confidence, connection, and joy in motherhood. Together, they unpack the pressure to “do it all” — and how letting go of perfection can help you feel more grounded, present, and fulfilled at home.


🔑 Key Takeaways:

– Unrealistic expectations are often absorbed from culture, family, and social media

– Self-compassion is key: Talk to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend

– Everyone's life looks different behind the scenes — your “success” should, too

– Letting go of shoulds helps you make confident, aligned decisions for your family


💬 Quotes from Liz:

“We’re all human — we all fall short sometimes.”

“Would you talk to your best friend the way you're talking to yourself?”

“Make decisions based on your family’s needs — not what you think you ‘should’ be doing.”

“Nobody is doing it all. They might just have more help behind the scenes.”
