Shame & Motherhood: The Off-Kiltering Balancing Act

Join Lindsay and I in a discussion on the joy, overwhelm and wonder of motherhood. We get real in our exploration as human givers and the impact that has on how we view ourselves as moms. Key topics include: Some of my favorite insights and topics include: How to integrate your expectations and the reality of parenthood The problem with the “power through” mentality When being a “helper” goes too far and why many of us cling to this role The disservice of the “fake it till you make it” mindset on human givers Relationships are inconvenient — and that’s okay Grieving the loss of ignorance after having kids How to release yourself from the pressure to “know” and “get it right” with your kids Managing our disappointment without getting lost in shame How to leverage pregnancy to understand boundaries versus using it as an excuse to have a boundary The importance of aligning our time with our values and grieving the reality that we can’t do it all, all of the time More about Lindsey: "I am a loving wife, dedicated mother to two, a Marketing professional, and a passionate dreamer.
