Before becoming a parent, honestly, how often did we look at and judge other parents and swear that we would be better? Today, I'm taking you behind the curtain and sharing a personal story with you to show you how my feelings of guilt and shame were sabotaging me from being a mindful mom. I share three transformative steps that helped me to go from self-limiting beliefs such as “I am not good enough” to feeling confident, calm and at peace with each interaction with my daughter. Don’t Miss These Episode Highlights What can we moms do to not only prevent ourselves from having moments of losing our cool but instead find our way out of this painful feeling of shame that not only hurts our loved ones but ours as well?  First, we need to acknowledge our behavior and change our mindset so it's working for us instead of against us.
