Episode 172 | What is a Good Mom?

Welcome to episode two in a new series centered around the idea of what makes a good mom!

This concept is so important, because too many of us moms walk around with all these preconceived notions of how we ‘should’ be with our kids. We hold ourselves to impossible standards day in and day out, and it’s so stressful.

Stressful enough that we’re driven to use food to soothe those feelings of inadequacy and frustration.

And then, SO OFTEN, our weight – the physical, mental and emotional weight of our fricking yo-yo diet cycles – gets in the way of our life’s purpose.

And we don’t get to be present for our kids, which I believe is the primary definition of a good mom. 

Yes, in Yummy Mummy we get to lose weight, but more so, we get to fully be with our kids and our friends and our families! Because we’re not up in our head beating ourselves up with guilt or hanging out in the pantry shame-eating. 

So, how do we address these obstacles so we can get down to the root cause of why we overeat? 

That’s exactly what I’m going to touch on in this episode. 

Listen in and you’ll hear more about:

• Defining what a good mom is for yourself

• How societal pressures make it feel like moms can’t win

• Repairing mistakes when you don’t interact with your kids how you wanted

• Making the case for doing B- work as a mom

• Why you need to say no a lot more often
