Description

In this episode of the Unperfected Pod, Brooke dives into the psychological phenomenon of conditioning in order to explain how high-achieving mamas can shed their "shoulds" and find freedom by embracing their messiness. Through her conversations with struggling working moms, she encourages us to identify and let go of the "shoulds" that have kept us stuck for a long time. She emphasizes how our thoughts can affect our feelings and behavior and how it is essential to reprogram healthy beliefs in order to create the life we want. She realizes that it is not about doing all things perfectly – it is about togetherness and connection with family. Tune into this episode as Brooke explores how we can break free from traditional beliefs and expectations that no longer serve us, practice self-care, and give ourselves permission to make choices that light us up instead of depleting us, so we can be present on holidays in alignment with what matters most to us.
