Balancing The Demands Of Motherhood

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

The demands of motherhood are enormous and with the expectation that mom is supposed to "do it all" it can often leave you spread too thin, feeling like you're falling short in every way, second guessing yourself, and comparing yourself to other moms. From the outset, as a mom navigating modern motherhood, you're tasked with the impossible: be everywhere and do everything for everyone always. The pressure is enormous.

 

In this podcast, you'll get a fresh perspective on how to navigate the demands of motherhood. Specifically, you'll get nine ways to to start balancing those demands in a way that works for you. These practices aren't a "cure all" but instead will help you get a little bit further ahead from where you are now.

 

If you want to experience less overwhelm and more fulfillment in your every day life as a mom, this one is for you.
