Mother’s Day Special: One Strategy that Could Improve YOUR Quality of Life!
Are you thriving as a mom? Is your life aligned with your human rights and needs?
Our mainstream culture has a pretty dismal narrative about what motherhood is: It’s hard, exhausting and you feel guilty or worried all of the time. On top of that, we are rewarded for self-sacrificing! It’s no wonder mothers are prone to mental health challenges and chronic physical ailments. And you know what? Maternal health affects kids’ future outcomes even more than paternal health! So it’s time to reclaim balance—not only for ourselves but our children.
In this episode, you’ll hear about the power of RECEIVING and how you can re-align the give-and-take in your own life. You’ll hear about:
- What we can receive.
- Why we may not receive as much as we want/need.
- How we can elicit change and return to our basic human design.
