In this episode, I'm diving deep into a topic that's close to my heart (and maybe yours too): finding fulfillment without the traditional path of motherhood. For years, I wrestled with the limiting belief that a family was the only key to happiness. But let me tell you, my journey has been a wild ride of grief, self-doubt, and ultimately, incredible healing.
I'll share how I navigated the societal pressure to conform, the impact of this belief on my mental health, and the powerful tools I discovered along the way. We'll talk about reframing those limiting expectations, the importance of therapy and finding your tribe, and how to build a life filled with joy and purpose on your own terms.
If you've ever questioned the "shoulds" of life or felt lost on your path, this episode is for you. Let's break free from the blueprints and build a life that truly lights us up.
