In today’s episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Amber Thornton, clinical psychologist and motherhood wellness consultant, about intentionally creating more balance in motherhood.
In this episode we discuss:
- Redefining balance as mamas
- How the idea of not being able to accomplish her professional goals made Dr. Thornton apprehensive about becoming a mama
- How society has normalized struggling as mamas and feeling the need to do it all
- The importance of showing your children what taking care of yourself looks like in practice
- How finding balance as a mama is a form of caring for yourself
- Identifying what burnout looks like
- Balanced Working Mama Empowerment Program
- How to create boundaries and stick to them
- Prioritizing your wellness
- Living fully in all of our identities
- Articulating your needs
- The importance of finding your mama tribe
- ...and much more!
