Mindset Tips For Type-A Moms

NATALIE BACON
About this episode

As a Type-A mom who used to struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison trap, and negative thinking, I never would've thought it was possible to be as calm, patient, and feminine as I am now. And if you would've told me that transformation was due to mindset, I never would've believed you! But that is the truth—I transformed my Type-A, alpha female identity as a career driven women to become a mom who is calm, patient, grounded, and connected. 

 

In this episode, I share my story along with mindset tips for Type-A moms who want to find more balance, calm, and patience in their every day lives. 

 

I dive into practical strategies you can start using today to rewire your thinking, stop perfectionism and overthinking in their tracks, and create space for more joy in your everyday life. Whether you’re juggling a packed schedule or struggling with feeling like you’re never doing enough, these mindset shifts will help you find more fulfillment and ease.

 

Ready to unlock a more balanced, calmer version of yourself? Let’s get started!
