Modern Motherhood Misunderstanding #1 | Ep #7

Modern Motherhood Misunderstanding #1:
"In order to be a good mom, you must put yourself last."

My message to the moms out there spending their precious energy on everyone but themselves … you don't have to put yourself last to be a good mom. In fact, everyone will do better once you start prioritizing yourself.

It’s time to start the personal revolution of stopping the madness and starting to take care of yourself really, really well. Not from a place of selfishness, but from the realization that you’re a crucial part of the family and when you’re not doing well, everyone suffers. So let's make sure you're doing well!

Beating yourself down into an exhausted, unhappy, unfulfilled presence in the home isn’t helping anyone. It’s not helping you, that’s clear … but it’s also not helping your partner or your kids. Nobody is winning.

Fulfilling YOUR needs first strengthens you and IS the way to, big picture, be there for your kids. And so, to get to the result of being the best mom possible – your action step is for you – the mom – to create the best life possible for yourself thereby being in a better position to teach, guide, and coach the other people in your home how to do the same for themselves.
