Episode 10: Redefining Motherhood And All It's Imperfections
It is from my own experiences and professional insights, that I know the importance of embracing imperfection, fostering vulnerability, and building supportive communities for moms. I'm providing an inside look at my upcoming eight-week therapeutic group and guide you through empowering exercise on practicing vulnerability - pulled straight from the workbook.
I share about embracing imperfection with life’s unpolished moments and the power of showing up authentically. As well as, the journey of redefining how motherhood reshapes your identity and why each experience—first child or fourth—is unique.
Whether you’re a first-time mom or a seasoned parent, this episode reminds us that each stage of motherhood redefines who we are—and that it’s okay to hold both joy and struggle.
Workbook Sneak Peek: I'm sharing a glimpse into the 22-page workbook designed to support moms through their transition. Including a guided exercise around “Five Ways to Practice Vulnerability,” that includes:
Expressing your feelings honestly.
Asking for help and breaking free from self-sufficiency.
Sharing your personal story to foster connection.
Giving and receiving feedback with patience and flexibility.
Practicing empathy to build understanding and community.
"You can be grateful for the experience of becoming a mom and still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsure—it’s okay to hold both." - Stephanie Konter - O'Hara
