Parenting and entrepreneurship is not a solo sport, but oftentimes we feel like we have to go through it alone. Orlesa Poole, therapist and parenting coach, is on the show today to share how she's shifted her mindset postpartum to get really comfortable asking for help as a mom and as a business owner. There are so many overlaps in motherhood and entrepreneurship, and even though I'm not a mother yet, this conversation left me with so many actionable takeaways for receiving support, relinquishing control, and setting healthy boundaries. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Topics Discussed:
- How Orlesa's experience with new motherhood during the pandemic lockdown led her to starting her business, Psychotherapy for Moms
- Why values clarification is the first thing that has to happen for setting healthy boundaries and how Orlesa helps her clients do this
- The connection between acceptance and finding joy in motherhood
- How to accept children fully as they are while addressing their negative behavior and teaching them consequences
- Some of the shifts that Orlesa has seen with mothers post-pandemic
- Why Orlesa's biggest piece of advice for soon-to-be or new mothers is to learn to let go of control
- How receiving help and support can help to let go of control, whether it's in business or motherhood
