    75. Who Told You That About Yourself? Breaking Limiting Beliefs, Self-Doubt & Negative Self-Talk

    What if the things you believe about yourself… aren’t actually true? What if “I’m not smart enough,” “I’m too much,” “I’m lazy,” “I’m not capable,” or “I’m just not good at this” aren’t facts at all? What if they’re stories you picked up somewhere along the way and repeated so many times that they started to feel like your identity? In this episode of Mind Your Mama, I sit down with Emily Erb from the Stop It Podcast for one of those conversations that starts with limiting beliefs and somehow ends up touching damn near everything: confidence, self-worth, motherhood, perfectionism, procrastination, people pleasing, childhood conditioning, negative self-talk, and the stories we carry into adulthood without even realizing it. We talk about where these beliefs come from, why knowing better doesn’t always mean believing better, and what happens when you finally start questioning the voice in your head that keeps telling you who you are allowed to be. Because at some point, you have to ask: Who told me this was true about me? And maybe more importantly… Why am I still letting it run my life? This is not a quick “just think positive” conversation. It’s honest, funny, uncomfortable, personal, and the kind of episode that may have you catching yourself halfway through thinking, Oh shit… I do that too. And by the end, we get into something I think most women forget far too often: You already have an unbelievable amount of evidence that you can do hard things. Maybe it’s time to start believing the evidence. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode: limiting beliefs, self-doubt, negative self-talk, self-worth, confidence, motherhood identity, perfectionism, people pleasing, childhood conditioning, mindset, overcoming self-doubt, personal growth, subconscious beliefs, and breaking old patterns.

    74. I Became a Mom Before I Knew Who I Was: Dr. Chiquita Mack on Losing Yourself & Finding Your Way Back

    What happens when motherhood comes before you’ve even had the chance to figure out who you are? In this episode of Mind Your Mama, I sit down with Dr. Chiquita Mack for a conversation about motherhood, identity, depression, marriage, ambition, and the parts of becoming a mom that women are often expected to quietly carry. Chiquita shares pieces of her journey from becoming a young mother while chasing huge dreams to eventually realizing she had completely lost herself somewhere along the way. But this isn’t a polished “look how successful everything became” story. We talk about the lonely parts. The resentment. The invisible load. The moments when you’re technically functioning but know something inside of you isn’t okay. And what can happen when you finally stop pretending you’re fine and start listening to yourself. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “I love my family… but where the hell did I go?” this conversation is for you. We get into: Losing your identity inside motherhoodMaternal mental health and depressionThe invisible mental load women carryMarriage, resentment, and asking for helpWhy motherhood can uncover things you thought you already healedLearning to hear yourself againBuilding a life that includes the woman underneath all the roles And yes, we also talk about the messy, unpretty, occasionally poop-filled reality of raising kids because apparently no motherhood conversation is complete without it. Listen now and come hang out with us.

    69. The Messy Middle: Why Everything Feels Hard Right Before You Change

    What if the part of your life that feels the most uncomfortable isn't proof you're doing something wrong? What if it's the exact place where you're changing? Lauren sits down with Emily Erb for a raw conversation about the messy middle — the space between who you've been and who you're becoming. The part nobody puts on Instagram. The second-guessing. The negative self-talk. The urge to quit. The what the f**k am I even doing? of it all. They get into nervous system regulation, self-worth, motherhood, learning to tolerate discomfort, why rest can feel harder than pushing through, and the stories we create about ourselves when life doesn't go according to plan. But here's the part we forget: You're already sitting on a mountain of evidence that you can do hard things. And even while you're figuring it all out, you're still allowed to laugh, blast your favorite song, eat the damn peanut butter cup, and find joy right in the middle of the hard shit. Two things can be true. You can be struggling AND growing. You can be scared AND capable. You can be sad AND still experience joy. Maybe you don't need to escape the messy middle. Maybe you need to stop believing it means you're failing. 🎧 Listen if you're navigating a life transition, questioning what's next, working through self-doubt, trying to regulate your nervous system, or becoming a version of yourself you haven't met yet. YES. YOU ARE. And YES. YOU CAN.
