Feeling behind as a mom? Discover why the Perfect-Mom Trap fuels guilt and pressure—and how to step into motherhood with more steadiness and self-trust.

You’re Not Behind as a Mom: Escaping the Perfect-Mom Trap

Redefine parenting—one episode at a time. The Anya Garcia Show is your sanctuary for intentional motherhood, where we trade perfection for presence and pressure for peace.

This show is for the woman behind it all! The one nurturing little humans while quietly wondering, "But what about me?" The one showing up for everyone else… while trying not to disappear in the process.

So, if you've ever thought:
"I just want to enjoy my kids—but I'm overwhelmed."
"I'm doing so much… but is it even working?"
"There has to be a better way to do this."
"I just want to feel like myself again."

You're in the right place.

Every week, Anya offers real talk, research-backed insights, and soulful strategies to help you stop surviving motherhood—and start owning it. Whether you're navigating the newborn blur, homeschooling with a full plate, or rebuilding your identity post-motherhood, this podcast meets you exactly where you are. You'll learn to simplify the process to amplify your growth—in your child, your home, and yourself—so you can parent with clarity, confidence, and connection.

Anya Garcia—named the #1 Key Early Learning Influencer in North America and winner of the 2025 Global Women Changing the World in Education Award—isn't your typical parenting voice. A former attorney turned Early Years expert, Anya traded depositions for diapers and settlements for sensory play, and she never looked back.
Through her global Montessori From The Heart® community, Anya has helped thousands of families design lives rooted in intention—not perfection. And now, through this podcast, she brings the unfiltered truth, mindset shifts, and transformational tools you won't find on Pinterest.

🎧 What You'll Learn Inside
-Monday Minis 10-minute mindset resets to ground your week
-Thursday Deep Dives: 20–40 minutes of research, storytelling, and strategy
You'll walk away with tools to:
-Raise confident, curious kids through aligned parenting—not performance
-Build rhythms that bring flow, not friction
-Create a home where learning happens naturally
-Trust yourself more and second-guess less
-Reconnect with you while raising them
🌱 This Show Is for You If...
-You're a mom, educator, or caregiver done with "shoulds" and craving alignment
-You're navigating imposter syndrome, overwhelm, or identity shifts
-You believe parenting is part science, part soul—and want support for both
-You want to feel present, purposeful, and connected—without burning out

The Five Pillars We Explore
💛 Motherhood — identity, emotions & real-life overwhelm
 🧠 Mindset — shifting from autopilot to aligned leadership
 👶 Early Childhood — practical tools to raise whole humans
 💫 Personal Growth — because your evolution is essential
 🏡 Home & Lifestyle Rhythms — creating ease in everyday life
These episodes are your pep talk, permission slip, and practical toolkit—all in one.
This isn't just another parenting podcast. It's a movement—one that honors your growth alongside your child's.
Anya doesn't preach from a pedestal—she walks with you. Through messy floors and magical moments, she delivers truth with tenderness and science with soul.
Because when we awaken the consciousness of the parent,
 we transform the life of the child. And that changes the world.
Here's the Truth:
👉 You don't need more to be enough—you just need to remember you already are.
 👉 Progress matters more than perfection.
 👉 And clarity? It doesn't come from waiting. It comes from doing—from starting where you are. Messy. Imperfect. Real. Because to get to your 100, you have to be bold enough to begin at 1.
