EP | 720 - Ambition and Motherhood Are Not Enemies: 7 Lessons of Parenting I've Learned This Year

from The Fitness Business Podcast with Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger

Before I had kids, I thought parenting was about teaching them. Teaching them discipline. Teaching them kindness. Teaching them confidence. Teaching them how to behave. What I did not realize… Parenting is not about teaching.   It's about being exposed.   Motherhood exposed my impatience. My control issues. My nervous system. My ego. My marriage. My priorities.   Today I want to share 7 of the biggest lessons parenting has taught me so far and please DM me if any or all resonate with you!   Time Stamps:   (0:45) What Motherhood Has Exposed In Me (2:19) Lesson 1: Your Nervous System Is The Real Parent (5:46) Lesson 2: You Cannot Control Everything (7:52) Lesson #3: Ambition and Motherhood Are Not Enemies (9:47) Lesson 4: Your Marriage Becomes The Foundation or The Fracture (11:43) Lesson #5: Guilt Is Optional.
