There is so much noise in motherhood – expert opinions on every facet of parenting, our family’s input, our own childhood experiences, and our expectations for motherhood. It can be overwhelming.   So how do we quiet the noise and trust our motherhood instincts?   In today’s episode, Kendahl Yanez, a mom of two and Founder of the Mama, You're Doing Great! Community & Podcast, discusses just that. After struggling with postpartum anxiety and a desire to be the perfect mom by doing everything the books & other moms told her to do, she felt like she was failing every day.   Join Kendahl and me as we discuss how to rise above the pressures and expectations of being a mom, finding confidence in motherhood, and the importance of having a community of moms to do life with.   Three things you’ll learn in this episode: How to adjust our expectations for motherhood How our internal dialogue (and inner critic) impacts our motherhood experience Finding confidence in our difficult parenting decisions   To connect with Kendahl, head to:   ·       Instagram: @kendahlyanez ·       Website: http://mamayouredoinggreat.com/ ·       Mama Community Membership     "I was fixated on so many things - use your manners, do this, don't do this - I wanted that perfect child to grow up perfectly.
