Episode 10: Navigating New Motherhood: Staying Balanced and Breaking Patterns with Special Guest Liana Ross

Join me and my special guest, Liana Ross, a licensed mental health counselor and assistant director of Gooding Wellness, as we tackle the roller-coaster ride that is new motherhood. Remember when your main struggle was keeping your houseplants alive? Well, that's about to change as we take you through the thrilling (and exhausting) journey of juggling work, self-care, and baby care. Open communication is the secret weapon here, and Liana shares how it kept her life from spiraling into chaos.

Have you ever felt like an impostor in your own life after becoming a mom? You're not alone. We'll dive into the struggle of maintaining your personal identity while embracing this new phase of life. Let's debunk the myth of "doing it all" and instead focus on finding a comfortable balance, defining a new normal where you are not just a mom, but also an individual. We'll also talk about setting boundaries, prioritizing your needs and breaking generational patterns that could harm us and our children.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: mental health. Did you know that therapy can be as essential as your regular health check-ups? This conversation is full of insightful tips and real-life experiences, so don't miss out. Tune in and let's navigate motherhood together.
