Unlock Your True Purpose & Identity: Empowering Midlife Moms through the transition to parenting adult children.
You play super mom every day. . .so why doesn’t it feel that way?
Many women believe their only value comes from being a good mom and serving others, especially their (adult) children. Unfortunately, that’s a perfect recipe for exhaustion, resentment and burnout.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
I want to be a great mom but don’t feel like I’m doing a “good enough” job.
I feel guilty about not doing things “right.”
I feel like my entire life is a “To-Do” list; I’m overwhelmed, over-sheduled & overcommitted.
I’m tired of my inner critic judging and comparing myself to others.
I’ve put all my eggs in the mom basket and don’t really have a purpose or identity outside of being a wife & mom.
My grown kids still ask for & expect a high amount of help from me. This often interferes with things I’m trying to do in my life and my marriage.
We work hard as moms and as raise our kids, we work ourselves out of a job. Then what?
Our identity and purpose become wrapped up in being a mom and there’s a lot of adjustment as our children grow up and start leaving. After years of laughter, tears, and hard work raising our kids, it can be difficult to let go. Learn how to let go, clarify where your value comes from, and understand how to develop strong and healthy relationships with your teen/adult children.
My 12 week Midlife Mom Mindset Revolution program will help you:
-
Explore what's next.
You didn’t stop developing just because you turned 25 or had a baby. Learn the developmental stages a mom experiences and where are you on that ladder. We’ll look at common myths moms often believe and how they keep you from being the best person you can. Explore the importance of having an identity outside of being a mom and where your value comes from as your children get older and become more independent.
-
Build your confidence!
Confidence is a skill you build with practice. Dial down your negative self talk and understand the “fuel” you are burning in your life. Learn to set effective boundaries that work and how to keep commitments to yourself. Love and accept all the parts of who you are. Get comfortable with discomfort and with processing all of the emotions that are part of life.
-
Love your imperfect life.
Peace & balance start with honoring yourself as a person. Far from being selfish, taking time to be you is critical to being the best mom (and person) you can be. Many women have fallen out of the belief that they matter enough to take time for their needs and wonder why they don’t find much inner peace or joy in their lives. When you take responsibility for meeting your own needs, you will show up in a totally new way, enjoy life and be an example for others.
The Midlife Mom Mindset Revolution has 3 phases:
-
Clarify your purpose and understand where your value comes from.
Too many moms rely on cultural myths to define what it means to be a “good mom” and then feel that they are not enough. We’ll debunk these myths and understand the growth you’re experiencing as a woman and mother. You will understand where your true value comes from and learn how to develop healthy relationships with your adult children.
-
Learn to set effective boundaries, manage negative self talk & keep commitments to yourself.
When you master these skills and understand how to process emotions, you’ll learn how to accept all the parts of who you are and show up in a more confident way. As you practice confidence you will enjoy life more, handle the pressures of life better, and create time for the things that are most important to you without feeling guilty. This is the secret behind living a balanced life.
-
Become a well-rounded individual and an inspiring example for your children.
Discover why far from being selfish, taking care of yourself as a person & making sure your needs are met is vital to everyone in your life. Develop your own interests, find purpose in things you love, and stop unintentionally relying on your kids to fill that need for you.
Testimonials
As an LDS mother of 5, I understand the responsibilities and pressures that come with being a “good mom.”
I have coached dozens of moms who struggle with the transition of who they are and how they add value to the world as their children grow up. Being a good mom becomes an important piece of our identity and our own growth often comes from the challenges of trying to be a better parent. We feel a strong sense of purpose when we’re raising our kids, but our role in their lives changes as they become older and more independent; they make decisions we may or may not agree with and they may or may not be open to our feedback.
We put a lot of time and energy into raising our kids and we’re not done being a mom. Sometimes we want to be more involved than we are in our grown children’s lives, and sometimes less.
Our next important step is almost counterintuitive: one of the best things we can do for our kids is to set an example of being a healthy individual. Our big kids are an important part of our lives, but they’re not the center like when they were little. This is vital for our kids to realize that we are an individual with our own life. After years of raising kids it’s important for us to develop a healthy sense of self and make time to honor our needs. This restores a sense of balance and peace in our lives that allows us to show up as the best version of ourselves in all of our relationships.
An important piece of our relationship with our grown children comes from our own confidence. Your children will want to have a deeper relationship with you when you improve your own emotional health as a person.
