THE LEADHER SHOW - Leadership, Mindset, Growth & Self-Publishing For Women

Mama, if you've had a little one come into your life recently, this episode might be the one for you. New-motherhood is f*cking HARD. It isn't always rainbows and sunshine and cute onesies, as seen on social media. That expectation can lead you to think there's something wrong with you if you aren't having the MOST FUN during the first few months (or even the first few years!) of motherhood.

Today I'm chatting with Ash Quinlan of @MamasteVillage, and we're digging into her personal experience with PPD and some things that helped her get through it.

Disclaimer: as neither of us are Doctors, this podcast episode is not substitute for medical advice or assistance. Please, if you think you might be experiencing Postpartum Depression, or ANY kind of Depression or Anxiety; if you relate to Ash's experience and think you may need some help - SEE YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL IMMEDIATELY. 

The content in this episode is meant for conversational purposes only and does not seek to diagnose or prescribe any treatment should you be experiencing similar symptoms.

Reach out to your Doctor if you're EVER unsure.

One love.

Hey girlfriend,

As you're listening to this, I'm away on vacation. And BOY did my "vacation prep" look different this year than it ever has before!

I'm talking LESS STRESS and 1000% more confidence, self-love, grace, and acceptance - so I can ROCK my new bathing suits with ease and not worry that someone might point out my cellulite or think I look huge in my bather. 

If you're tired of stressin' the F out before your vacation (or, before the summer for that matter!) then this episode is for YOU!

Today I'm talking about limiting beliefs, defining them, and teaching you about the program inside your brain that sometimes needs a little re-focusing. 

I'm giving some concrete examples and leaving you with an exercise you can literally do DURING the episode (or as soon as it's over!)

Today we're talking about BODIES and specifically, how we speak about them around others... especially around our kids. Even more specifically, I'm talking about GIRLS and DAUGHTERS and how our language about bodies around them is integral to how they see body acceptance as they mature. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, as always. Send me an email or a DM if you want to continue the conversation!

Pictures have been something that trigger the negative self-talk cycle for me, and they have done this for as long as I can remember. 

Today's episode is all about photos, and how to get over it if you're someone who is triggered by pictures and falls victim to that negative soundtrack on repeat every time you see an unflattering one of yourself. 

Let's take the power away from photos and re-think what they can do for us! 

Hey girrrrl!
Today it's just me, talking about how awesome our LIVE workshop was, and giving you some quick tips that you can implement RIGHT THIS SECOND to help you shift your mindset about your body.

P.S. - You are allowed to be both a work in progress AND a masterpiece, all at the same time! 

Hope you'll join us at the next live workshop!

I'm getting real with you in this episode, sharing about how some failures are GOOD for your soul, how everybody else is NOT accomplishing everything (despite what it might look like on social media), and how we're all just doing our very best (including YOU!) and can find comfort in knowing: NOBODY IS ACTUALLY DOING "IT ALL" !

Today we're digging deep into the dangers of fitness culture and talk about what it was like to be a fitness competitor and why it isn't a good idea to focus ONLY on the external component of fitness. 

My work-wife Holly Dykstra joins me today, and as an ex-fitness competitor and someone who has gone from a size 18 to a size 4 and now sits comfortably at a range somewhere in-between, Holly explains why chasing the goal of fitting your body into someone else's pre-determined box is SUPER dangerous for your brain and your personal body image.

Episode notes: 
For the most part, men seem like they're pretty confident. (Yeah, there are exceptions, but I'm saying for the MOST part.)

Here are 4 things I observe that a LOT of men do, that influence the way we perceive them and how confident they are (whether they are truly confident, or not!)

Would love to hear your thoughts on this one, ESPECIALLY if you're a man... ;)

As a mama, even if you don't run a biz (big or small!), you're still likely the "Entrepreneur" of the family and have feelings of fear, self-doubt, and questioning whether you're doing things "right". 

Right?

Let's get rid of those fears and doubts, or at least work on managing them and using them as leverage, instead of dead weight. 

Today I chat with Crystalee Beck from The Mama Ladder, the intersection of motherhood and entrepreneurship. 

This gal "gets it", has 3 littles AND a successful business, and her mission is to empower other women to have the same experience, in life and biz.
