Mom On Purpose Foundations: Negative Tho...

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

Negative thoughts about motherhood are automatic because of how the brain works and because of the way we've been taught to think about being a mom.

 

If you buy into the "overwhelm narrative," feel like your life is happening to you, or any other negative thought pattern that is pervasive in motherhood, you are not alone! In fact, you're right on track with most. The problem is that track is headed for a lot of unhappiness, or at the least, happiness that is dependant on things outside of your control (like your kids). 

 

There is SUCH a better a way.

 

You can get control over your negative thoughts as a mom, so you feel better, happier, and more fulfilled.

 

In this episode, you'll learn how to identify your negative thoughts and change them so you can show up as the mom you want to be.
