The Balanced Working Mama Podcast75. When Anxiety Shows Up in MotherhoodJust because we’re moms, doesn’t mean our lives should be riddled with anxiety. I‘ve talked a lot about how my anxiety has showed up in so many ways for me in motherhood and I feel like I should be doing more of it because it reminds our mamas that they are not alone, that they can ask for help, and that there exists a SAFE space for them. Sharing my experiences have helped me see that I’m truly not the only one going through these, and it’s comforting to know that I’ll EVENTUALLY...2022-05-0225 min

The Balanced Working Mama Podcast74. Advocating for Your Mental Health + Motherhood w/ Rosyln ReneIt is okay if you need more than what others may need. The thing is, you don’t ever have to be on the same wavelength as anybody. Your feelings are valid, and your needs SHOULD be met. As moms, we tend to forget that we are our own greatest advocates. We know our needs better than anybody else. Even before we became moms, we know the things that give us joy and make us feel best about ourselves. BUT motherhood is crazy—this is what I and Mama Roslyn agreed in our latest podcast episod...2022-04-2534 min
