166. Becoming The Best Mom You Can Be: My Top Six Insights!
Motherhood is a multifaceted journey that encompasses a variety of roles, experiences, and emotions. Striking a balance between family, work, and personal needs can be quite demanding.
So, what happens when divorce is added to the mix? For mothers facing this change, their children's well-being and their ability to parent effectively in this new situation become major concerns.
Worries about not doing enough, overextending themselves, and comparing themselves to other parents can lead to mom guilt, resulting in overwhelm, doubt, increased stress, fatigue, burnout, and exhaustion.
Oftentimes this area of motherhood goes unchallenged, causing us to not redefine what motherhood can be and look like. We adopt beliefs and outdated narratives that can keep us stuck in old patterns that may no longer serve us or our children. This can hinder our ability to grow as parents and individuals. By questioning these assumptions and embracing a new, more authentic approach to motherhood, we can better navigate this journey and create a nurturing environment that supports both our children and ourselves.
Tune in to this week's podcast as I share my top six insights on motherhood and tips for becoming the best you can be.

164. Are You Self-Sabotaging? How to Identify and Four Steps to Break Free
It's natural to want something better for your life, but what happens when you're faced with the challenge of pursuing it?
Do you make excuses for why you can't achieve it?
Do you focus on what's wrong out of fear for yourself?
Do you convince yourself not to try?
Do you withdraw as a means of self-protection?Do you resist embracing change?
Do you revert to familiar patterns?
Following a divorce, self-sabotage can become a real concern. Making better choices, nurturing healthier relationships, forgiving yourself, embracing change, and seizing new opportunities can feel unattainable when your life takes an unexpected turn.
You may feel powerless and uncertain about the future, leading you to stay stuck in a past chapter of your life instead of embracing a new path forward.
How can someone break free from self-sabotage?
Join me on this week's podcast as I discuss ways you may be self-sabotaging your life after a divorce or breakup, along with four steps to help you move forward.

Throughout the episode, I address three pivotal questions essential for her journey forward, offering guidance to navigate the complexities of her situation and facilitate her path to healing and growth.

Re-Aired Episode! Post-Divorce/Breakup Healing: 3 Essential Inner Work Practices
When you hear things such as:
You need to heal OR
You need to do your inner work
You could be left to wonder "What does that mean?", "What does that look like for me?"
And when you're unsure on what it means, it becomes ignored due to the lack of understanding on why this is necessary and how it can enhance your quality of life.
Although everyone's journey of doing their own inner work looks different, there are similar activities that "inner work" involves for anyone.
On this week's podcast, join me as I discuss what "inner work" is, ways to identify if you need to start your inner work, as well as three main activities that apply to anyone.

Reclaiming My Voice - 5 star
On the "Purposely Thriving" podcast, Tonya creates a truly safe and supportive space for survivor’s stories
As a guest, I was able to open up about my personal experience like never before. The thoughtful questioning allowed me to explain my journey in a natural, unrushed way while feeling completely comfortable. This was the first time I've been able to share my truth so openly, without any shame or guilt attached.
The host has a gift for putting guests at ease and facilitating honest, healing conversations. It was my first podcast experience, but it flowed so organically that I left feeling empowered to keep reclaiming my voice, one step at a time.
"Purposely Thriving" is providing an invaluable platform for survivors to speak up and inspiring others rebuilding their lives after abuse. The work this podcast is doing to raise awareness and facilitate healing is making a real impact. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to be heard and to be encouraged to continue sharing my story through more podcasts.
For anyone seeking a compassionate space to share their experience, or to learn from powerful survivor stories, I can't recommend "Purposely Thriving" enough. It's a beacon of hope and light in helping women heal while rebuilding their lives and families!
God bless!
Janelle Hunt🙌🏽💜🙌🏽
