Redefining Motherhood: Breaking Free from Toxic Culture and Embracing Your True Power

Motherhood is the most important job in the world. As moms, we are responsible for the creation and nurturing of the human race. Without us, there would be no future generations. Yet, somewhere along the way, society has downplayed the significance of being a mom. How often have you found yourself saying, "I'm just a mom," when asked what you do? It's time to change that narrative. Being a mom is the greatest honor, gift, and blessing. We are raising the next generation of healthy, stable individuals who will contribute to society with their unique gifts.

The purpose of motherhood goes beyond just raising children—it's about finding meaning in your life. While your family and babies are paramount, there may come a time when you want something more for yourself. Maybe it's pursuing a career, maybe it's finding balance between work and family, or perhaps it's reclaiming a sense of self after dedicating so much time to your children. It's okay to want more, and it's okay to seek financial independence while being a mom.

This is why I started the Money, Motherhood & Manifestation podcast and the Mysterious Mompreneur Coaching brand. I want to help moms like you break free from the fear and scarcity mindset that often comes with motherhood. When we create from a place of fear, we invite a lack and hustle mindset that is neither sustainable nor fulfilling.

Children have a way of highlighting the areas in our lives that need healing and growth. If we don't take the time to address these issues, we may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, like needing a drink at 10 AM or feeling overwhelmed and reactive. When our nervous system is off, our children feel it too. Instead of numbing ourselves, let's use these moments as opportunities to heal and grow.

The biggest question is, how do you envision your motherhood journey? Parenting is unpredictable, and no book or prior experience can fully prepare you for it. What happens with your child is an opportunity to grow and become the best version of yourself, for both you and your children. Remember, as we become rich mompreneurs, challenges will arise that force us to grow. This growth is non-negotiable if we want to find balance and success without the hustle and mom guilt.

We have the power to choose our path in motherhood. We don't have to subscribe to the toxic mom culture that often pervades social media. You get to decide who you are as a mom. Will you neglect yourself, or will you fulfill your own needs while being a mom? It takes more intention to care for yourself after becoming a mom, but it's crucial. Whether it's the toxic culture of neglecting your needs, not washing your hair for days, or sacrificing sleep and self-care, these behaviors drain your happiness and set a negative standard for your life and your children's lives.

You are enough as you are, and you have the power to create dynamics that work for you. What do you truly want? It's okay to have desires and goals beyond motherhood. Accept and love where you are, but don't be afraid to make changes to fulfill your dreams. Manifestation is about aligning your desires with your reality, even if it doesn't look like what you initially imagined.

If you feel mom guilt creeping in when you consider taking time for yourself, remember that fulfilling your desires is essential for your overall well-being. Unfulfilled desires can spill over into other areas of your life, affecting your marriage, your relationship with your children, and your business. So, ask yourself, what do you want, and start making the necessary adjustments to make it happen.

In Money, Motherhood & Manifestation, we explore these themes deeply. It's not just about strategies—it's about mindset shifts, addressing guilt, and aligning your life with your true desires. When you feel blocked in your motherhood journey, that block can impact every other aspect of your life, including your ability to manifest financial abundance.
