If you're feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the seemingly impossible task of trying to achieve balanced motherhood through self-awareness and support, yet still feel like you're failing to find that balance and struggling to maintain your mental health, then you are not alone!

My special guest is Shannon Tamez, the host of the inspiring podcast Learning Life This Way, delves into the intricacies of adult relationships, friendships, and finding the balance between a mother's wishes and the needs of her children. 

As a stay-at-home mom to three young kids, Shannon understands firsthand the struggles of balancing work and family life, as well as the mental health challenges faced by many mothers. 

Through her podcast, she shares her personal experiences, offering guidance and support to fellow parents, particularly women of color, as they navigate the complex world of modern motherhood. 

Shannon's honest and heartfelt insights provide a refreshing perspective on the unique challenges faced by today's moms.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Discover the art of juggling motherhood, work, and mental health for a balanced lifestyle - sometimes from the school dropoff lane.
• Uncover the secrets to effective communication and co-parenting in blended families.
• Understand the significance of self-awareness and positive parenting for children of color.
• Explore Zora Neale Hurston's influence on personal growth and creative inspiration.
