Moms, do you have days when you feel like your entire life is about your kids, your family and NOT about you at all?
Maria and Zelmira, authors of the book Happy Mom, Happy Kid, say "Motherhood is a gift of unimaginable love and happiness. But in between playdates and nap-time, you can’t help but miss certain things from your old life…and answering to your real name instead of “Mom.”"
Being 'you' and being a 'mom' confuses your identify, where the 'you' part gets filed into the far flung corners of your brain and starts to fade away. Motherhood's nurturing responsibilities and emotions of anxiety and guilt can provide ample room and reason to occupy all your time, focus and energy.
In their book, close friends Maria Luisa Montt, founder of Expert Secrets Academy and writer Zelmira Crespi reveal strategies and five steps on how to reclaim yourself from motherhood to more positively impact your life and your family.
Today, we talk to Maria and Zelmira about what they learned from studying over 600 women who are struggling to achieve a balanced life, and why guilt, shame, and unrealistic expectations are robbing you of joy—and skills to stop the cycle.
