Mother's Day: When Enough Really Is Enough (and That's More Than Enough!)

This MOMmentum podcast episode is titled "Mother's Day: When Enough Really Is Enough (and That's More Than Enough!)" In this episode, we will talk about the pressure that mothers often face to be perfect and the feelings of inadequacy that come with it. It’s time to place the emphasis on mothers are already enough and that they do not need a fancy brunch or an expensive gift to prove their worth as a mom. Kristi shares insight on lessons learned over the years that was key to a more joyful mother’s day for both mother and the rest of the family . Plus, you’ll hear a portion from chapter 2 of Kristi’s book, "Empty Besting," which delves into the concept of enoughness and how special occasions like Mother's Day can bring up feelings of not doing enough as a mom. When those feelings arise, this episode has three ways to celebrate enoughness on Mother's Day: IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: * Enough -Embrace the Imperfect: Instead of striving for perfection, embrace the imperfections that make you who you are. Remember that you don't have to have it all together all the time to be an amazing mom. * Really Enough -Celebrate Your Accomplishments as a Mom: Take time to reflect on your accomplishments, big and small, this Mother's Day. * More Than Enough -Recognize Your Unique Qualities: Every mother is unique, and recognizing your own unique qualities can help you feel more confident in your abilities as a mom. Instead of comparing yourself to other moms, embrace your strengths and the things that make you a great mom. Mantras in this episode For Moms: * Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, imperfections and all." * Really Enough: " I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.” * More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me an amazing mom." For Kids: * Enough: "I am enough, just as I am, and I don't need to compare myself to anyone else." * Really Enough: "" I am enough, and I trust that I have done my best and give myself credit for all that I've done.” * More than Enough: "I recognize and celebrate the unique qualities that make me who I am, and I am proud to be me."
