25 • The pressure on women to be exceptional and how to release it.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE We all feel it, but we don’t talk about it that much. I’m talking about the pressure many of us women, and especially mothers, feel to be exceptional at everything we do — parenting our children, showing up in our marriage, our fitness, our performance at work, our ability to clean and organize our homes. I could go on. There is this pressure to be excellent at an unrealistic number of things, and it’s hurting us. I’ve been noticing this more and more lately, and I’ve been particularly paying attention to how this pressure influences my decisions and day-to-day behavior — and I’m not loving what I’m seeing. This podcast episode is all about bringing this topic out in the open and helping you pinpoint how this pressure is hurting you and actually release it so you can be a more carefree and authentic version of yourself.  SELF-CARE RESOURCES ✨ FREE Self-Care Guide + Printable Planner Pages Overcome decision fatigue and learn about the 4 types of self-care that will actually make you feel your best! https://www.miahemstad.com/guide 😌 Rituals that Replenish Workshop If you’re stuck in the burnout cycle, and you struggle to find time and energy for your self-care, this 3-week instant access workshop will help you get in touch with your true needs and learn practical ways to replenish yourself. https://www.miahemstad.com/rituals 💌 The No Longer Last Letter Get resources, tips, and inspiration to help you prioritize your health, happiness, and well-being. https://www.miahemstad.com/letter⁠ 💕 The No Longer Last Journey™: Live Coaching Program An immersive 12-month program with classes, community, and coaching to help you build a no longer last life one month at a time. https://www.miahemstad.com/nolongerlast⁠ ABOUT MIA I'm Mia—wife, mom of 2, abuse survivor, and trauma-informed self-care coach.
