24 \\ Motherhood & Anxiety: A Conversation About Social Media & Balancing Business While Being A Working Mom with Kayla Brugger, PILATESBODY by Kayla

In this episode of the Being Better Everyday podcast, I have a heart-to-heart with my friend, Kayla Brugger, who is an entrepreneur, Pilates Instructor, and Minnesota mom of 2. We get real about the challenges we face juggling motherhood, our businesses, the pressures of social media, and dealing with anxiety. Kayla shares her story of a TikTok post during her pregnancy and the other time in summer of 2023 that unexpectedly went viral, leading to some pretty intense online harassment. This opens up a candid conversation about the need for privacy and how to set healthy boundaries.   We also tackle the tough topic of the stigma that still clings to anxiety medication, and we stress how crucial it is to look after our overall well-being. As we wrap up the episode, we focus on the importance of mobility and breath work, and we discuss how to strike that perfect balance in our self-care routines.   We hope you enjoyed this episode and if you did please share with a friend & also leave a rating and review!
