In this inspiring episode of Work Like a Mother, host Marina Tolentino sits down with bestselling author, coach, and mom of three, Chris Janssen, to dive deep into her journey from perfectionism to sobriety. Chris opens up about the pressures of motherhood, addiction, and learning how to show up for the life you truly want, even when it’s hard.
With vulnerability and wisdom, Chris shares her story of overcoming self-sabotage, high-achiever habits, and her struggle with alcohol while raising her kids. Now a coach who empowers others, Chris explains the difference between perfectionism and healthy achievement, and why it’s so important to stay committed to your goals—even when the craving to quit sets in.
Listen in as they explore the concept of serenity, the importance of community, and how to navigate life’s pressures with grace. Whether you’re navigating your own sobriety, perfectionist tendencies, or just looking for guidance on how to "show up" in your own life, this episode is full of actionable advice, real-life stories, and encouragement for women everywhere.
