The Self-Centered Mom with Evelyn LeVasseur
by evelynlevasseur
The Self-Centered Mom is for the woman who is done being the constant for everyone else and ready to be the authority in her life, on her own terms. The woman who wants her fire back and intends to leave a legacy that breaks every cycle she was handed. Who is raising daughters to live as full human beings, not as someone who disappears for others comfort. Who is raising sons who understand that women are not here to simply take care of them. Every week, we bring the honest, disruptive, compassionately direct conversation that this work actually requires. We name the conditioning. We dismantle the systems. And we build - specifically, practically, really - a life where you are the center. This is the work. And you're already ready for it.
