I’m so thrilled to have you on the show today- even though I don’t have kids these topics hit especially hard because as a photographer- behind the lens and photographing women I hear their stories, what they feel are shortcomings, how they view themselves and even often a lack of confidence in strong, capable, resilient women- which I think we all are- so I’ve been looking forward to our conversation today.
So even the title of the book you wrote Slay Like a Mother: How to Destroy What's Holding You Back So You Can Live the Life You Want- is such a powerful and emotion filled title- so why this book- what inspired this book and now?
You also are the CEO and founder of the Mom complex which really helps larger companies better understand and support the moms that they’re making products for- what an incredible business to develop better experiences with necessities that every mom needs- Will you tell me a bit how that started?
So without giving too much away, because I want them to go and get their hands on your book or to get the audio book too!- I’ve read quite a bit about the voices in our heads as women and what you have named the meanest mean girl we know- what are some really basic things we can do to start to shift that negative self talk into something that comes from a place of kindness or confidence? Or help to reduce that negative self talk
I love how on your website you really dig into what’s under this topic of the slays and what we can slay for instance saying no, asking for helping, navigating new normal and setting realistic expectations, there are tons more you share and talk about but what are some things we can tangibly do to go from that place of suffering to struggling- I know you have mentioned before that we’re going to struggle- it’s hard and it’s okay to admit that but it shouldn’t be a constant feeling of suffering- and how do you encourage women in that to make a change or shift?
And with all the topics of things we can slay as women to destroy what’s holding us back- are there some steps that you might mention to start making those changes? Especially when we have been telling ourselves and speaking to ourselves in a negative way to say no, ask for help, or set boundaries?
I really love how your passion is so clear in how you’re helping and who you’re helping not just with the products and big companies but also going directly to the moms and seeing their experiences too- which of course makes sense to work with both sides of that to create better experiences and connect the consumers and the big companies- so with that are there any fun things you’ve been working on- anything new on the horizon?
What are some things possibly on your heart lately, that you’d like to share with the women listening? Maybe some things you feel has been important to you lately or just on your mind to share and encourage?
Let us know where we can find you, the book, your website, all the things
Keep Shining
