In this episode, I am sharing my raw and honest journey as a new mom struggling to navigate the mental load of motherhood. From juggling the demands of working from home and taking care of my child full time to hosting this very podcast, I'm opening up about the overwhelming challenges I face daily.
I'm getting candid about the emotional and mental toll of trying to be everything to everyone, moments of self-doubt, exhaustion, and the guilt that many moms experience but rarely talk about. I'm also sharing practical tips and strategies that have helped me find a bit of balance and sanity in the chaos.
Remember, you are not alone, and together, we can navigate the beautiful mess of womanhood and motherhood.
In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about:
- The mental load of being a woman and a mother
- Navigating being a work-from-home parent
- The struggle to find time and energy to create meaningful content
- The guilt and difficulty in prioritizing self-care
- Practical tips and strategies that have helped.
