"Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had." Motherhood is challenging. It is like a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs. It can be overwhelming, and at times it can be the best dose of happiness. Katherine Wintsch joins today's podcast with her extraordinary charm. Katherine dedicates her life to making the lives of mothers easier. Katherine is the founder and CEO of The Mom Complex. She is a mother of two teenagers and the author of 'Slay like a Mother', a popular book that combines her journey with her groundbreaking research on motherhood. According to the Parade magazine, the book is one of the Top 10 Life Changing Self-Help Books of the Year. Her research has also been featured by 'The Today Show,' 'The New York Times, 'The Wall Street Journal, and 'Fast Company.'
Katherine shares her journey of motherhood and explains how she managed her struggles and slayed her 'Dragons of self-doubt.' She also expresses her thoughts on why moms suffer and struggle and her ways of overcoming it. According to her, Gatekeeping moms are prone to stress and anxiety, and everyone must make time for themselves. Organizing and decluttering even relationships can keep our mental health on track, and to maintain a sane mind, we should love ourselves. Self-love is not wrong, and moms should find time for self-care.
