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
