Hi, I'm Amanda. I'm a life coach for moms. If you are a mom and are tired of the wash-rinse-repeat burnout cycle of motherhood; if you feel lonely and isolated in your motherhood journey; if you feel like you have completely lost your identity since your babies were born; if you feel like every other mom has it together except for you, this podcast is for you. I am living proof that a woman can be present & loving to her kids, while also being a whole ass person outside of being “that kid’s mom”. The secret? Learning when to say FUCK IT.

FIM 52: The Art of Surrendering with Amanda Curry
What happens when you got everything you ever wanted but it doesn't feel the way you thought it would?
Or when it actually feels horrible?
This week host Amanda Haro is joined by Amanda Curry, Somatic Inner Child Coach for Moms. Curry shares her journey of building the American dream just to realize she had built her life using blueprints her parents & society had designed. Who knew motherhood could be so triggering??
The answer for her to get her life back on track: surrendering. Surrendering to not having all the answers, to loving the messiest version of herself, and to healing her inner child so that she could finally become complete.
The Amandas also talk about what to do if your male partner isn't on board for a decision you want to make for yourself, how conflicting gender messages as a kid still affect you today, and how to have deeper conversations with your male partner.

FIM 50: Adjusting Expectations: Finding Joy When Your Kids Don't Act the Way You Wanted
Mother's Day can be a mixed bag of emotions & expectations, right? The media paints it as this carefree day where moms are pampered and appreciated, but the reality is...we still have to be moms. The baby still has blow out diapers, the older kids still fight, and your partner still can't read your mind.
But Mother's Day isn't the only time moms get disappointed by the reality of something they had fantasied was going to be so much fun:
We dream up the BEST family vacation, but the reality is our family stress follows us to our destination
We long for a family movie night until we're 30 minutes into everyone fighting over what we're watching and the teenager gives up and watches Netflix on her phone in her room
We look forward to the weekend to reconnect with our busy teens just to sit at home alone because they went to their friend's house
In this episode, host Amanda Haro explains:
How to let go of expectations so moms can enjoy authentic family moments
How to allow your kids to be themselves & how to give them space to explore their friendships/chosen family & why this is crucial for their growth and development
How to embrace change & let go of resistance in order to cultivate acceptance and happiness
