There are times when we’re in survival mode as moms, and we just have to get through the day.  And however we get through the day - that is surviving and that is amazing. Aside from safety considerations, most of the other things we worry about aren’t that important. Do the rules say X? Fine, that would be ideal, but we don't live in an ideal world. So sometimes just surviving is ok.” - Sharon Mazel   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!--🧠 What's your capacity pattern? Take the free 2-minute quiz and unlock The Capacity Code — a personalized private podcast episode for your specific nervous system. → Take the Capacity Pattern Quiz
