How Patterns of Self-Criticism Contribute to Mom Guilt with Amanda de la Madriz

Self-criticism is unfortunately a part of most of our motherhood experiences, and in this episode I'm joined by Life and Mindset Coach Amanda de la Madriz for a conversation on how this impacts us and what we can do to combat it. With conscious effort, we can learn to be a little more compassionate towards ourself in motherhood and life. 

In this episode, Amanda and I talk about:

• Thoughts that lead to mom guilt
• What self-criticism can look like (and how it can be fairly subtle)
• Factors that contribute to a lack of self-trust
• Connecting with what you actually want
• The relationship between self-criticism and self-hate
• The value of "real talk" for moms
