5 things I would tell myself mom as a first time mom after 12 years of motherhood [Episode 389]
Description
If I could sit my younger self down - the brand-new mom who was sleep deprived, overwhelmed, and convinced she was doing everything wrong - there are five things I would tell her. They're simple, but they have changed everything.
In this episode, I'm sharing the real-life lessons that came from a decade of raising kids, navigating sleep deprivation, stumbling through routines, shifting old patterns, and learning what actually makes motherhood feel lighter.
I'm sharing:
-
What helped me manage those long nights so I didn't spiral with anxiety
-
Why going outside changed everything when the days felt suffocating
-
How I stopped letting one hard hour turn into a "bad day"
-
The realization that I was making everything harder than it needed to be (and the small mindset shift that make everything easier)
-
The truth about deculttering that I wish someone had told me years ago
I don't have motherhood all figured out, but these five things genuinely made my days lighter. Hopefully one of them does the same for you.
