Ep 22: 8 Tips For New Mothers
Whew, this year just doesn’t get any easier does it friends? I’m feeling a lot of nervousness and anxiety about our country’s current state and life in general. As hard as it is, I also believe this is a collective awakening and a time of transformation for many of us. All of these emotions that we are feeling is a lot like motherhood, especially when you become a mom for the first time.
Motherhood affects us in ways that we could never anticipate. The surprising thing is that this new role often changes every aspect of your life – your priorities, your inner thoughts, and your relationship with your partner, friends, and other family members. Today I want to share my best tips for new mothers. Even if you aren’t a mom yet, or even if you’re already a mom of two, three, or four kids…I think you’ll find this advice useful.
In this episode I cover:
- where mom guilt stems from
- why perfection is unnecessary
- accepting that it’s normal for old friendships to fall away once you enter motherhood
- learning to be okay with what’s out of our control
