In this episode the Boss Ladies are joined by the host of the Thats Not Proper Podcast -Cori Asuncion- 👏🏻 We challenge the molds of motherhood, and womanhood, and discuss how to be yourself even if it feels “wrong”. There are so many “proper” ways and expectations on how we “should” do things in parenthood and we chat about how to navigate through them without compromising who you are. Cori teaches us how to break norms on self raising children, sexuality and open discussions of sex, inclusiveness and communication, mom guilt, and how to battle the high pressures of society. She teaches us that it is ok to be a "loud mom/woman". Not necessarily in voice, but in your stand in choosing your own path for yourself and your children 🙌🏻 We are strong woman in this space, and we can do it all, proper or not!

Ok 2020... we are 6 months in and what is even going on?!? We thought it would be a good idea to pull out those goals we set at the beginning of the year to reassess, adjust, and re inspire ourselves👏🏻 Pull out your goal list, make adjustments for the current times, celebrate your accomplishments, and be realistic on goals that may be a little less achievable than we originally planned. Give yourself grace, patience, and understanding as you move forward with a new outlook on original goals ✨ Hang them somewhere you will actually see them, and come back in a month or two to update 💕
