In this last episode of the mompreneur series, Tammy wants to shift your mindset on the word surrender. Surrender is perceived as negative. Someone who surrenders may be seen as weak, giving in to the enemy, allowing someone to take control of you. Yet, what if we were to take the word surrender and become empowered by it? As Mompreneurs, we are juggling quite a bit and at times, not in our favor, but what if we were to embrace another action to support us? Listen in as Tammy breaks down what surrender can be if you're willing to shift your mindset and focus on what matters.
