There’s never been a more challenging time to be a mom. As a coach, speaker, psychologist, wife, and a mother of two, Dr. Raquel Muller knows first hand how self-criticism, comparisons, and unrealistic expectations can cause moms to experience a disproportionate amount of stress, overwhelm, and guilt. After struggling with these issues herself, she used the skills she has learned as a psychologist, a mother, and an entrepreneur to become a more patient, confident, and loving mother. Dr. Muller now uses these same techniques to empower moms and teach them ways to relieve the pressure, reconnect with the joys of being a mom, and maintain a happy marriage, all while becoming happier and more fulfilled women in the process.

Sharing space with uncomfortable emotions is, well, uncomfortable. Often we go to great lengths to avoid or distract from feelings that aren't positive or comfortable. We use food, social media, exercise, work, alcohol or shopping to distract and keep those feelings at bay. The problem is, that keeps you stuck and steals your power to create the life you want. In this episode, we talk about the ways of distraction and 3 tools to help make sharing space with uncomfortable feelings more do-able. 

When asked what the biggest obstacle to feeling confident was, 60% of women polled said WEIGHT.

When you try to lose weight (ie: Make yourself physically smaller) from a place of unawareness of what is TRULY blocking your confidence and trying to physically take up less space out of self-loathing and feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, you MUST rely on  willpower and motivation to "stay on track". You set yourself up for failure because sustainable weight loss is much more complicated than you think.  

Weight loss can be a natural by-product of going through the 5-Step Road Map to Confidence and will have nothing to do with willpower or motivation the way you are used to doing it. When you make changes to your physical self from the 5th step to Confidence, GROWTH, you no longer need willpower or motivation to keep you going. You find that you have confidence WITHOUT weight loss!!  Visit www.captivatinglyconfident.com/roadmap to get your 5-Step Road Map to Becoming Captivatingly Confident TODAY!
