229. When to Push and When to Pivot Artwork

Love Your Mom Life

How often do you say to yourself, “I love my mom life?” A lot, hopefully! If, on the other hand, you sometimes feel like motherhood is one never-ending ride on the Hot Mess Express, you’re not alone, girlfriend. Being a mom is hard. And being a mom with goals and dreams is even harder. Harmonizing what you want to do as a woman with everything you have to do as a mom is a challenge every mother faces. But the truth is, with some intention, planning and a whole lot of grace, you can create what you want to experience in life, love and motherhood. Tune in to the Love Your Mom Life podcast every Wednesday with Nikki Oden, a working mother of 2 (and recovering Hot Mess Express passenger), as we explore ways to take back your time, crush your goals and create a mom life you absolutely love. And be sure to connect on FB (www.facebook.com/youridealmomlife) and Insta (@NikkiOden) and visit us at www.youridealmomlife.com.

IT'S AN ALL-NEW EPISODE!

If you're a fan of this show, it's because you and Nikki share some very similar fundamental beliefs about motherhood. One of those core beliefs is: mamas are allowed to pursue their big, hairy, audacious goals.

But here’s a legit question: how do we know when to push through towards a goal, and when to pivot? Tune in to hear Nikki's take on the difference between gritty perseverance and toxic positivity.
