Reclaiming Your Worth as “A Good Mom”

Send us Fan MailThank you for joining me on this first official episode of Woman Made Well! Today I'll be diving into a common struggle that so many mothers face, and that is the feeling of not being a "good mom." I’ll share a touching story of an experience I had with a client on this topic and why this is such a recurrent issue in deeply caring mothers. The transition to motherhood often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and unprepared, and I'll unpack how unrealistic expectations from social media, friends, and even well-meaning family can contribute to this struggle. Along with some helpful advice I share with patients surrounding your growth mindset and progress as a parent, I’m here to remind and reassure you that as long as fundamental requirements are met simply by meeting your baby's basic needs, you are doing a great job! By the end of this episode, my hope is that you'll be able to redefine your self-worth, not by an unrealistic standard of perfection, but by the love and dedication you pour into caring for your child. You are already the perfect mom for your baby, never forget that!If this episode resonated with you, I encourage you to share it with a friend who might enjoy it as well, so we can continue to work together to build a supportive space for women to thrive in motherhood.If this episode resonates with you, I encourage you to share it with another mom who might need to hear this.
