How to Advocate for Your Own Needs In Motherhood with Iesha Madden
When it comes to taking care of ourselves, we first have to know what we need, and then must take the steps to actually get those needs met. This week, I’m joined by Iesha Madden, the mama behind the More Than A Mom Series on Instagram for a conversation on self-advocacy in motherhood.
In the episode, Iesha and I talk about:
- Acknowledging the hard, while not letting it be an excuse to hold you back
- Personal development and self-care in motherhood
- What it means to advocate for yourself
- The HALT method of checking in with your needs in the moment
- What motherhood with ADHD looks like
