You're constantly being told to "be present" as a mom, but what if that advice is actually making things worse? In this episode, I dive into the guilt-ridden pressure of being the "perfect, present mom" and why it's okay to not cherish every single moment. Here’s what we’ll cover:

• The unrealistic expectations of motherhood & presence
• Why feeling guilty for not "soaking it all in" is harmful
• My personal experiences and why I don’t want all the moments back
• Practical tips for feeling patient and present—without the stress
• An introduction to my new program, Exclusively Empowered: a private coaching experience to help you uncover and peel back the layers of your emotions.

Listen in as I debunk harmful myths and offer real, emotional support. Ready to redefine your motherhood journey? Tune in, and let’s start peeling back those layers.
