Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 140 W_Deborah Mallow

Deborah Mallow never thought she wanted kids but after spending time with her friends and their kids, she fell in love with the idea of being a mom.  She is one of the positive, happiest people you have ever met!  In fact, she has written a book called 6 Steps to Fewer Days That Suck.  What a great title! She was 38 when she had her son and now he’s in his 20’s, living in Minnesota.  She struggled with balancing it all.  She was exhausted through motherhood because she was so stressed about making sure everything was “good.”  She wishes she would have taken more time to “chill.”  She says living in the moment is important. Her husband was her biggest supporter and is still the doting father. He was always a very active dad and he used to have their son strapped to him.  He has always LOVED being a dad. Her best mama moment was when her son went to college! As a helicopter mom, she was so proud! She encourages you to understand that if people are not kind to you, it’s not something YOU need to worry about. Disengage from toxic people. Confidence, resilience and positivity are the three life skills you need for this life. Find the things in life that are positive because all things are contagious and if you go down the negative road, that’s what you will attract. You can find her at thedailydecisions.com.
