Mom On Purpose With Natalie Bacon

Ooph! I’m about to get real with all you Moms…the first time I listened to this podcast, I hated it. You know why? Because it challenged my default way of thinking that felt very safe and known. When you first hear Natalie’s words, they are going to bump up against some really engrained old neural pathways. It feels weird and uncomfortable! Keep listening! The discomfort IS the change! After months of listening to her podcast, I decided to join the Mom on Purpose membership, where she really dives into the “how” of creating intentional thoughts and feeling more empowered. It’s really where the magic lies. With Natalie’s guidance and your own willingness to be curious and open, “the work” here works! Listen to the podcast and then do yourself a favor and join the membership because your life and motherhood are precious and worth it. You will learn that your brain is miraculous at change and you will FEEL the difference in your daily life and relationships. I’d hate for you to miss it!

Losing 50 pounds in POSTPARTUM in 4 months is not the same as losing 50 pounds at another point in your life. You naturally lose at least 10-15 pounds from the birth of your child. It annoys me so so much that Natalie constantly brings up how she “lost 50 pounds in 4 months” and never mentions how giving birth plays a role in that. She should absolutely be proud! You go girl! But postpartum is not comparable to other weight loss experiences. I would know… I have also had 3 kids and also lost the weight. I used to truly LOVE this podcast and I think some of the older episodes are great. However, the newer content is SO focused on “look at me and how amazing and perfect my life is” that I can’t take it. The episodes seem to lack tactical advice and are JUST “here’s what I do and it’s perfect!” Not everything is perfect all the time and your way of doing things isn’t what’s best for everyone. I would also beware of Natalie’s critiques of marriage therapy. When you have marriage issues, a therapist/counselor is what you need, NOT a know it all, advice-giving life coach. To the person reading this - You are doing amazing as a mom for even wanting to listen to a podcast to help in your motherhood! ❤️❤️ Don’t compare your real life to someone else’s “advice giving podcast highlight reel”.

Buyer beware. Her public persona presented on Instagram feels very polished and aspirational, but my private experience is that shes performative rather than authentic. I regret enrolling in her programs and would strongly encourage others to read all terms carefully, understand the cancellation process in advance, and proceed with caution before you fund her lifestyle and feel worse about yourself because she’s comparatively perfect. She bamboozled a free life coach certification so she’s baking all her money.

This content is so life changing- practical and has completely altered how I think about things. She is down to earth, relatable and provides REAL tactics that actually work. I’ve gained so much from this podcast and Natalie’s incredible coaching. As she would say, “10 out of 10 recommend” :)
