“The Strong and Resilient Mom”

Your strength and resilience are your defining traits. You have an incredible ability to keep going, even when life feels overwhelming. You know how to push through difficult days and get things done. This strength, while admirable, can also lead to feelings of burnout and disconnection from your true self. You may find that you're so focused on caring for others that you lose touch with your needs.Positive Impacts: Your resilience allows you to handle challenges with grace and determination. You’re dependable and can weather emotional storms without falling apart, making you the rock in your family.Adverse Impacts: The danger lies in pushing yourself too far. As referenced in my book Reclaim Your Self, constantly ignoring your needs can lead to burnout, resentment, and physical symptoms like exhaustion, headaches, or muscle tension (Chapter 6: Losing Myself). You might also feel emotionally numb as you disconnect from your inner emotions to keep functioning.Recommended Resource: "Reclaim Your Self" BookRediscover who you are and heal from the inside out. It’s time to reconnect with yourself, reduce stress, and find joy beyond just getting through the day.
2.
“The Compassionate and Giving Mom”

You have a heart of gold and consistently show up for the people around you. Your ability to give love and support to others is a beautiful gift. However, constantly putting others first can leave you feeling unappreciated and depleted, as you rarely take time for yourself. You often wonder why no one seems to recognize how much you give.Positive Impacts: Your compassion and giving nature make you a wonderful mother and friend. Others are drawn to your kindness, and your family relies on your support.Adverse Impacts: As mentioned in my book Reclaim Your Self, constantly giving without receiving support in return can lead to frustration, resentment, and emotional fatigue (Chapter 5: A New Family). You may feel unappreciated or unsupported, leading to a buildup of anger or guilt, (did I mention resentment?) and this can strain your relationships, particularly when you feel like you're doing it all on your own.Recommended Resource: MeditationsMy guided meditations will help you cultivate self-compassion and reclaim your sense of worth. It’s time to nurture yourself and let go of the guilt of taking time for self-care.
3.
“The Emotionally Aware and Intuitive Mom”

You’re deeply in tune with your emotions and those around you. Your emotional awareness is your strength, as you can empathize and connect with others on a deep level. However, this heightened emotional awareness can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you unsure of how to manage the intensity of your feelings.Positive Impacts: You have the ability to understand your emotions and intuitively sense what others need. Your emotional intelligence makes you a comforting and supportive presence for your family.Adverse Impacts: As described in my book Reclaim Your Self, being highly emotionally aware without the right tools to process those emotions can lead to feeling flooded, overwhelmed, and unable to release pent-up feelings (Chapter 13: A Deeper Path to Healing). Suppressing emotions can lead to emotional outbursts or feeling stuck in cycles of stress and frustration.Recommended Resource: Rooted ResourcesRooted Resources offers practical tools to help you manage emotional overwhelm and stress. With guided meditations, courses, and mindfulness techniques, it supports emotional healing, self-awareness, and personal growth, empowering you to feel more centered and in control of your emotions.

Your ambition and ability to stay organized make you an incredible problem-solver and leader in your household. You have high standards for yourself and work hard to meet them. However, your desire for control and perfectionism can sometimes become a double-edged sword, leaving you feeling frustrated when things don’t go as planned.Positive Impacts: Your drive and organization help keep your family running smoothly, and you accomplish a lot inside and outside the home. You’re a natural leader; people rely on your efficiency and attention to detail.Adverse Impacts: As noted in my book Reclaim Your Self, striving for perfection can lead to chronic stress, guilt, and the feeling that you’re never doing enough (Chapter 12: The Power of Our Thoughts). The pressure you place on yourself can also make it hard to ask for help or accept that things don’t need to be perfect to be good enough.Recommended Resource: Rooted ResourcesRooted Resources, provides access to the 3-Step Rediscovery Digital Course, which will help you let go of the need for perfection and control, trust in the process, and find freedom from the pressure to do it all.
