Competence In Motherhood
Welcome back to Woman Made Well! Today, we’re continuing our series on the three pillars of mental well-being from self-determination theory, by diving into the second pillar: competence. Motherhood is a beautiful, transformative experience, but it can also challenge your sense of confidence and ability. In this episode, we’ll explore what competence truly means and why it’s so vital during the postpartum period.
I’ll walk you through examples of how we’ve felt competent in our lives before motherhood and reflect on my personal experience of feeling a lack of competence when I first became a mom. It’s a feeling so many of us can relate to, but it’s also something we can work to regain.
You’ll hear about one of my clients’ inspiring journeys of learning to care for her child, and how rewarding it was to see her confidence grow as she found her footing in motherhood. I’ll also share four practical steps to help you build and strengthen your competence as a mom, empowering you to feel capable, confident, and proud in this incredible role.
If this episode resonates with you, I’d love for you to share it with another mom who could use some encouragement. Don’t forget to leave a rating and review—it helps grow our supportive community. Let’s connect on social media—I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and stories!
