Thriving as a parent AND a business owner with Yara Heary Run Your Business Like A Boss
-
- Management
A lot of my listeners are juggling parenthood and running businesses, with many others looking to start families in the next twelve months. I myself know the challenges this balancing act can present. So for today’s episode, I sat down with the lovely Yara Heary who shares her insight into thriving as both a parent and business owner in today’s busy world.
Yara is a therapist and owner of Life After Birth Psychology, where she works with mothers both one-on-one and in a group program. Yara believes that we deserve joy and to thrive as mothers, and her vision is to support women’s growth, healing and connection with their authentic selves.
When we’re in the messy middle of life and business, there’s often a sense of upheaval. It can be tough to keep moving forward, and in this moment we tend to become hyper critical of ourselves. Yara believes self-compassion is key to leading a fulfilled life, and applying it is critical when we fail to meet our own expectations. We talk about the inevitable ebb and flow of life, and how being gentle with ourselves through life’s varying phases will help us push through.
When we have dreams to pursue, children to raise and businesses to run, a million different things vie for our attention. So how do we make space for the things that bring the most meaning to our lives? We discuss the importance of boundaries, and how truly knowing what our values are will enable us to clarify and set the right ones.
What is it that brings you joy? What is it that makes you feel fulfilled? What do you engage in that fills you up and that lights you up? When you get clear on what matters to you most, being able to say no becomes so much easier and leads you to being in true alignment with yourself and your values.
We delve into experiencing the ‘big emotions’ that comes with parenting, often triggered by the pressure of the ‘shoulds’ and external expectations of our society. Yara discusses bigger emotions like anger, and how this can be useful in informing us about what is happening internally.
Yara defines the inner child and explains why being in touch with this aspect of ourselves is key in bringing nurture and care when our nervous system is activated. We discuss how our past experiences and family of origin can determine our attachment styles, and Yara gives advice on recognising when our inner child is causing us to react abnormally.
There is a season for everything, and that the compassion we show ourselves will hold us when life gets big and we see our businesses grow.
I got so much out of this conversation and I hope you feel encouraged to grant yourself the grace and kindness you deserve, balancing life as a thriving parent and boss.
