...but do you still find yourself riddled with anxiety and ultimately not happy even though you did everything you were supposed to do?

This week host Amanda Haro is joined by Olivia Ganguzza, coach for high-achieving women, and she shares her personal story of being that perfectionist, high-achieving career woman who had everything but was left anxious and unhappy. 

They discuss:

✨ How socialization and traditional gender roles have shaped work culture and why it does not work for the modern family

✨ Realizing perfectionism created anxiety, not happiness

✨ The physical consequences of untreated anxiety and burnout

✨ The importance of identifying your values as a mom so you can confidently make decisions without the anxiety of being judged

✨ How to stay curious with your negative feelings so you can break out of the cycle of harmful negative self talk and learn to have self compassion

✨ How to practice mindfulness as a mom to help reduce mom stress and burnout

✨ How to let go of perfectionism and the social media compare and despair so you can fully embrace yourself and your uniqueness
