Have you ever felt guilty for not being a better mother? Have you ever felt like you’ve had to sacrifice your own talents and passions to put the needs of your family first? Today, hosts Christie and Michelle talk about Christie’s first book, You Are the Mother Your Children Need and the experiences that brought that book about. Even if you don’t have children, this episode is just as applicable to you, and we hope it will inspire you to see that you absolutely have permission—even a responsibility—to be exactly who you are. If Christie could summarize her book into six words, they would be “Show up as you with God.” The problem is that so often mothers get caught up on that “as you” part. But the fact is that the essence of who a mother is is who their children need. Christie spent much of the beginning of her motherhood no longer pursuing her acting career, even though it was something she loved. Later on, she realized her daughters enjoyed who she was when they were in a play together—her own talents were helping her family, not getting in the way of it. When you decide to start showing up as you are, it won’t be pretty or easy, but it will be wonderful and oh so worth it. Join us today to learn more about how to change the mindset around motherhood and just go and be you!.
