Have you ever felt overwhelmed…
…while also feeling incredibly grateful?
That's exactly where I am.
Motherhood has brought me more joy than I could have imagined.
It's also introduced me to things I never fully understood until I experienced them myself—mom guilt, perfectionism, the loss of uninterrupted time, and the constant feeling that there just aren't enough hours in the day.
In this episode, I'm sharing some of the lessons I've been learning in real time.
We talk about what I wish I could tell pre-mom Salisha, why "good enough" has become one of the hardest phrases for me to embrace, and why I think following your curiosity is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
- The three kinds of mom guilt I've experienced
- The advice I'd give myself before motherhood
- Why putting your phone down might change your life
- Letting go of perfection and embracing "good enough"
- Rediscovering joy without needing a purpose
- Prioritizing your mental health through every season
If you've ever felt like you're carrying both joy and overwhelm at the same time…
This conversation is for you.
