Motherhood Isn’t Easy: Embracing the Struggles and Finding Your Strength
Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re talking about something we can all agree on, that motherhood is hard. It’s one of the most challenging roles a woman can take on, but like any difficult journey, the rewards are just as great as the struggles.
In this episode, I’ll open up about my own challenges in motherhood and how those experiences shaped my career and passion for helping other moms navigate this transition. Through diving into cognitive behavioral therapy and understanding the science behind our experiences, I found ways to help myself and others build the strength and confidence to thrive as moms.
We’ll also explore self-determination theory and its connection to motherhood, including the three key pillars that affect your sense of autonomy and control. Most importantly, I’ll share practical strategies to regain that sense of autonomy and confidence as you embrace this new phase of life.
If this episode resonates with you, I’d love for you to share it with another mom who might need to hear this. Don’t forget to leave a rating and review—it helps us grow this supportive community. Connect with me on social media too—I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
