In this inspiring episode of Millionaire Mompreneur, Alexa Starks welcomes Miranda Campbell, a mental health expert and author of the upcoming book The Attachment Style Makeover. Together, they delve into the transformative power of understanding attachment styles, breaking unhelpful patterns, and fostering self-awareness as a mompreneur. Miranda shares her journey of personal healing, practical insights from her book, and actionable tips for balancing motherhood, business, and self-care.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Attachment Styles:

Attachment styles are shaped by childhood experiences and influence how we connect with others as adults.
Many of our default behaviors stem from safety mechanisms we learned in childhood, which may no longer serve us in adulthood.

Breaking Generational Patterns:

As parents, it's important to become aware of how our attachment styles influence our parenting.
Allowing children to experience their emotions without rushing to “fix” them fosters emotional intelligence and healthy attachment.

The Role of Self-Awareness in Parenting and Business:

Self-awareness is a skill that can be developed by routinely checking in with yourself and naming your emotions.
Tools like the Gottman Feelings Wheel can help you identify and address specific emotions.

Balancing Motherhood and Business:
Flexibility within routines is key to managing evolving needs at home and in your business.
Periodically assess what’s working and what’s not—both in parenting and professional life—and course-correct as needed.
Practical Tips for Building Self-Awareness:

Set daily or hourly reminders to pause and reflect on how you’re feeling.

Ask yourself: “What do I need right now, and how can I meet that need?”

Treat self-awareness like a muscle—it gets stronger with consistent practice.

Actionable Insight: Commit to a 5-minute daily check-in with yourself. Identify how you’re feeling, what you need, and how you can address that need. This small habit can lead to big shifts in how you show up for your family and your business.
