How to keep it real as a mom & how authenticity can lead us to happiness The Soul Mammas Podcast

    • Kids & Family

What does "keeping it real" and authenticity have to do with success, or happiness? I believe it's everything. And so does today's guest mom Mona-Jane Hannemann.
Mona is an active, fit mama of two who loves working out and being outdoors. She also believes she doesn't fit into one motherhood box. Her social media following is large and successful, but it wasn't due to trying to change who she was. In fact, I believe, it can be attributed to her "real" down-to-earth nature, and humble approach to life. 
Mona has seen her own mama friends struggle with doing the things they once loved after becoming mothers and promised herself she would try to incorporate her passions into her daily life as a mother. 
Mona, is a self professed fitness nut, and her drive is inspiring others to live the lives they love and be their best physically in the process. Mona received a degree in Exercise Science, and lives on the North Shore of Hawaii, somewhere that really mirrors her outdoor lifestyle. 
Today we talk about: 
How stepping into new motherhood wasn't easy for Mona, but how she adjusted by taking her oldest son with her on all of her adventures.  How being an ocean mama can sometimes not seem very "conventional"  How we both admit to mom guilting ourselves over things like having dinner prepared nightly. Not every mom is the same! Not fitting into one motherhood box, and why that is OKAY.  How to own our own authenticity.  Why being "real" is what people are gravitating towards on social media.  Mona-Jane shares about her humble beginnings and how much it taught her about gratitude and hard work.  How maintaining her successful social media accounts looks day to day as a mom of two  How sometimes we have to work in the middle of the night in order to get our passions realized.
