Show Notes
01:56 For me, depression looked different than what I thought it was I didn’t even realize I was suffering from depression. As an only child transitioning into a big family, I struggled, expecting everyone to fall in line. Academic success made it tough to let my kids be themselves. It was a challenging journey.
03:54 I was just trying to exist, make it through one hour to the next I was on autopilot, just existing. I didn’t take time to reflect or think beyond my daily routine. I was stuck in a bubble, not living.
04:55 It was at that point that I decided I had to do something different After multiple hospitalizations for depression, I blamed others. I realized it was a pattern and took accountability. I became my first client, empowering myself to create new habits and routines.
07:57 It helped me to recognize that I could define my own American dream I met a business coach who helped me embrace my identity as ‘America’s SuperMom.’ I learned I could have a career and be a mom, redefining my American dream.
10:14 People are more inspired by whom they feel they can connect Growing up, I was taught to be a high achiever, striving for perfection. I’ve learned to share my journey, struggles, and flaws. Vulnerability connects people and inspires action.
12:40 My kids gave me the tenacity to try new things out of my comfort zone My children have taught me to step out of my comfort zone. They constantly challenge me, and I have to say that parenting is an ongoing journey.
15:04 Things can go out of control, but it doesn’t have to disrupt our progress I help people focus on the power they have. Chaos and problems are part of life, but we can control our response. Stay positive and keep moving forward.
