Are you an overwhelmed mom constantly putting everyone else first, feeling that quiet exhaustion of selfless mom burnout? Does the idea of reclaiming your own identity feel impossible amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood? You are not alone, and this episode is for you.
In this deeply honest episode of Not Just Moms, your host Stephanie No shares a powerful realization from a Mother's Day video that left her feeling both saddened and inspired. While so many moms were celebrated for their "selfless sacrifice," Stephanie found herself asking: Is that truly the legacy we want to leave for our children? As a life and mindset coach and a fellow mom, Stephanie opens up about her own journey, including the profound influence of her immigrant mother's selflessness, and her desire to forge a different path – one that balances dedication to family with the vital act of loving yourself well and living authentically.
Join Stephanie as she tackles the crucial question: What do we really want our kids to say about us? In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why the "martyr mom" archetype is so prevalent, and why it's time to break free.
- The subtle signs you might be experiencing mom burnout and losing your identity in motherhood.
- How to reclaim your passions and reconnect with who you are, beyond being just a mom.
- Powerful insights from Yung Pueblo on intentional living and self-love.
- Actionable steps and reflection prompts to start prioritizing yourself and building a more vibrant, authentic life.
- Inspiring personal stories from Stephanie's own journey of self-discovery and integrating her passions into her everyday life, from getting certified as a coach to finding joy in weekly tennis.
- Why modeling a whole, thriving, and emotionally intelligent parent is the greatest gift you can give your children.
If you're ready to move past the "dutifully" living and truly embrace a life of purpose, joy, and authenticity, this episode offers the guidance and encouragement you need. It's time to show your kids what a well-lived life truly looks like – starting with you.
