You bring a high level of dedication, determination, and focus to every aspect of your life, including (perhaps especially) motherhood.

When you are passionate about something, nothing will stop you from reaching your goals. Your discipline and commitment to personal excellence inspires those around you.

You are the loyal friend, partner, and parent who your loved ones know they can count on to show up for them.

You notice, remember, and plan for every little detail, which makes your children feel special, safe, and cared for.

There is always a shadow side to our strengths.

When you are constantly striving to make yourself better, you may have a harsh inner critic who beats you up when you fall short of perfection or when you don’t feel like you measure up to other moms. You might find yourself feeling critical and frustrated with your partner or children when they don’t meet your expectations as well.

You thrive when you can maintain a sense of order and control, but you can become easily stressed when things inevitably don’t go according to plan.

You want to be able to relax and go with the flow more, but maybe it feels too scary to allow yourself to let go. You know that perfection is an unattainable ideal, and yet there is a part of you that feels compelled to keep reaching for it.

Where did that part of you come from? What is it afraid would happen if you weren’t the very best, or if things didn’t go according to your expectations?

By exploring questions like these, you can begin to discover how to balance your drive and discipline with more ease and flexibility. Working with a coach can provide the support and insight you need to navigate this journey.
