92: Real mom talk-How to rediscover our purpose when life events become challenging
Episode Description
I've been promising some one on one coaching episodes with you all, AND have been getting some good feedback onto what things are going on in your lives at the moment. So today I am sharing about the MAJOR hurdles that come up for mamas in our lives and how we can still discover our purpose nevertheless.
Some of these hurdles include:
Feeling lost in our identities
Letting go of things that used to define us
Having little time for ourselves or not knowing how to advocate for our free time
Having too many responsibilities so we crave vegging out at the end of the day instead of working on our purpose
Financial difficulties
Single parenthood or strained relationships
Children with disabilities
Sick family members
Feeling an extreme sense of overwhelm
Living in "survival mode"
Today I do my best to pose new ideas and answers to you mamas who are going through any of the above scenarios. In addition, I also am going to share honestly about my own experience with feeling totally turned upside-down as a new mom, the power struggles with my husband when I left my full time job to stay at home with my daughter, as well as our opposing natures and parenting styles, to name a few.
This goes hand in hand with my new course "Uncover your Purpose in Ten Steps" at www.soulmammas.com. The impetus and passion behind the course is so mamas who are going through any of the challenges above, can all have access to their truest creative purpose as well as helping them step in to their self worth. Man oh man did I need this positive reinforcement when I was a new mommy, because I felt so insular and alone.
Hope this serves you well.
