In this episode, we get real about the many expectations and judgments that new moms encounter every day. I share my personal journey as a new mom, detailing the pressures I experienced and offering practical tips on how to overcome them.

We discuss everything, from unrealistic societal standards to the every day challenges of balancing personal identity with motherhood. I know your time is valuable and that you need to get back to being the amazing mom you are, so I keep it direct and packed with insights that you can immediately put to use.

And remember, this is just part 1, there's more to come. Tune in next week for part 2, where we continue the conversation and dive even deeper into navigating these challenges with confidence and grace. Join me for an honest, empowering discussion that's all about supporting and uplifting each other on this incredible journey.

Let's get real, parenthood can sometimes feel like pure chaos, especially when you are navigating post partum anxiety and/or depression and that constant mom guilt.

We'll go over how to spot the signs of post partum depression, post partum anxiety, why mom guilt is totally a thing and share some simple tasks on how to build mental resilience when those tough moments hit.
