Overcoming Negative Self Talk As A Mom

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Negative self talk in modern motherhood is so pervasive that it's now the norm. It's more common to be harsh and critical of ourselves than it is to be supportive and loving. This type of negative self talk is harmful to our self identity and to our families. It leads to self doubt, worry, insecurity, anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, mom guilt, mom rage, and more.

 

While negative self talk is the norm, it doesn't have to be the way you live your life. There is a better way. It's possible to override this negative mindset and change your thinking so you feel more confident, capable, empowered, loving, connected, and joyful.

 

In this podcast, you'll get specific steps to identify your negative self talk and exactly what to do to change it. Instead of feeling like you're at the affect of your self talk, you can feel in charge of it. With more positive and deliberate self talk, you'll have a better sense of well being and enjoy motherhood more.
