Welcome to the Executive Coach for Moms podcast, hosted by Leanna Laskey McGrath. The goal of this podcast is to help working moms find balance and joy in their lives. As a high-achieving mom and former tech executive, Leanna understands the challenges that come with balancing motherhood and a successful career.
On this week’s episode, Leanna shares how she used to feel like she was failing at everything, despite her accomplishments, due to five factors: perfectionism, all or nothing thinking, people pleasing, valuing work ethic as identity, and recurring negative thoughts. Unfortunately, many working moms can relate to these experiences, which is largely due to a broken system that fails to support working mothers.
To combat these negative feelings, Leanna recommends noticing and challenging those negative thoughts and emotions. It's also important to seek support from others who understand the unique challenges that come with being a working mom. By doing so, you can feel less alone and create a more balanced and fulfilling life for yourself and your family.
