Following her own mid-life, shall we say awakening, she was thrust into a goosebump-worthy healing journey and life transformation . Using a blend of real life, sometimes hilarious story telling combined with her mental health expertise, she’ll teach you how to have BOTH a thriving family life and a purposeful career while gaining several hours back in your day for YOU and what lights you up! In solo episodes and interviews with other bad ass mamas and supporting professionals, you’ll get a front row to our shit shows and how we overcome some of the toughest working mom struggles. We’ll talk everything from asking for help, dealing with crippling resentment, Mom guilt, losing yourself, anxiety, negative thought patterns, s****y boundaries, mediocre relationships and more. You’ll build a toolkit of coping skills, therapeutic techniques, personal development strategies to help you let go of who you think you’re supposed to be in order to create the life you’ve always wanted. If you’re with me, press play, follow and subscribe and…LFG! Follow along on Instagram @brookejeanunperfected to see how ridiculous I am IRL.
