Episode Highlights
09:19 – Everyone has a different belief of what is a good mom. No one has made a book that says this is how you should be, how you do this. My definition of being a good mom is that a good mom is always there for your child, always puts their child first.
13:27 – Today, it's hard not to compare. Social media is dangerous for that. After I had my son, I needed to figure out what worked for me and my husband, and I needed to figure out what worked for us together.
16:40 – If I am frustrated and overwhelmed, that vibe is pushing back on my kids. I take a deep breath and remove myself from the situation before I get too frustrated. I have found that working out helps relieve some stress.
21:38 - Work and being a mom is one of the hardest things, and personally, work makes me a better mom. I can value the time that I have with my children. But my biggest advice is routine.
28:55 - I have lots of goals. One in particular is being more of a Yes mom. I say No more times than I would like to admit. Why do I say no all the time?
