It goes without saying that becoming a parent is no small undertaking! There’s a lot to do and keep up with. Even the best of us can find ourselves getting overwhelmed.
In our society, mothers, in particular, are expected to seamlessly juggle the legwork of daily life as well as navigate the ins and outs of motherhood.
And with unrealistic expectations of perfection, even the slightest blip can feel like a failure. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling this way, know that you’re not alone — and we’re here to help!
On this episode of the His & Her Money Show, Sarah Bragg of the Surviving Sarah podcast has joined us! Like so many women, Sarah wears several hats, as a wife, mom of three, podcaster, writer, and editor.
Through her personal journeys, she’s learned so much that she can’t hold back from sharing with the world! Most recently, she’s doing so with her newest book, A Mother’s Guide To Raising Herself, and today she’s giving us the juicy details and some must-hear advice!
It’s massively important to get — and keep — our houses together. Furthermore, it’s hard to take care of others without taking care of ourselves as well!
As Sarah notes, her perception of motherhood has evolved over time, and initially believing that mothering her three daughters was the be-all-end-all achievement of her life was actually potentially harmful.
Sarah is a champion of empowering women to step out from under the pressures of unrealistic views and expectations and place value on the important things in motherhood.
Moreover, through her book, she’s created a road map to being your authentic self, and showing up in the best ways possible for you and your family.
So don’t forget to grab your own copy of A Mother’s Guide To Raising Herself! This is a wonderful book and some great conversation that we’re excited to share, and we hope Sarah’s wisdom reaches as many parents out there as possible!
