Maria Woods

Host of That Mom podcast thatmompodcast.com   Guess what?  Becoming a mom actually changes your brain.   -Maria Wood Meet a working mom on a mission to help other moms create lives that align with the things that matter most to them.  Maria Woods is the host of the all-new podcast series That Mom thatmompodcast.com.   Born and Raised in the little town of Royalston, Massachusetts, she’s the daughter of an educator, and holds three degrees in cultural anthropology, law and business.   In this interview, she shares the story behind the creation of her popular series, and the joy she gets from offering her audience knowledge they can use from the experts who appear on the show. Says Maria:  “Motherstoday are under pressure to do it all and there’s been no mention of the sacrifice that goes into it.”   Now the mother of two young children, Maria says she makes no apologies for the time she spends at work.  Why?  Because she loves her career in marketing. So, instead of telling her children “mommy has to go to work”  Maria has flipped the guilt script and says “mommy gets to go to work today and I’ll have lots to tell you when I get home.”  Prioritizing what really matters to you is the key to fulfillment as a parent, says Maria. “As moms, it’s hard to do everything and maybe sometimes, we can’t.  You have to give from a place of love, but you also have to give from a place of wanting to give, and that nuance makes modern motherhood so complicated.”   For 24 minutes of priceless mom wisdom, just hit that download button.  #motherhood #wisdom #workingmom #thestorybehindhersuccess
