Ebbs and flows… It happens to the best of us. I have had to pull myself out of a cloudy headspace more times that I want to admit. And I know pivoting (going back to work) can feel a bit like you’ve failed… but it’s actually a really brave step that I think every successful entrepreneur has had to take. I believe in you. I know you believe in you. And you will feel the fire again!
Thank you friend ❤️. It’s all part of being human. Taking steps daily to get back to a good place where I feel good about creating and sharing. Going back to work is going to be good for me. I need routine ☺️.
Thanks for being so vulnerable. I am the same way in that I feel my best with a sleep schedule, movement, mindfulness, and nutrient-dense food. Why is it so hard to keep it going? Haha. We got this!
Something I found kinda goofy but also so healing for me was selecting a journal that I would have loved as a kid. I went looking for a journal that would be sensible for me but I spotted a hello kitty journal and my “inner child” was begging for it. At first I felt foolish buying it as an older woman. I can’t explain why I find using my hello kitty journal as so healing but it makes me smile when I see it because I wanted one so bad as a child and as always told hello kitty isn’t sensible so my notebook were aways plain and sensible but now as a mature woman I’m using a journal I would have loved as a kid.
That is so beautiful! I love that you threw sensibility out the window and picked a journal that you needed. Good for you ❤️. Your inner child was probably so grateful.
This what we are missing in our society today! I love your channel as it speaks to the season I’m in. I think most moms are losing the relationship with their children because they don’t know how to nurture them. We tend to focus on what they are doing wrong instead of understanding how to nurture them to restoration.
I had a therapist get upset with me because I would not let him read any of my journals. I explained to him that the reason I wouldn’t is because then it would not be mine anymore. I would have to destroy it the way I did most of my journals when I found out one of my sisters-in-law read them.
That's interesting that a therapist asked you to read your journals. That would upset me too. Your sisters-in-law were so wrong for reading your journals. Such a violation of your privacy.
This is my favorite episode thus far. Zena, I absolutely love what you’re doing. As mothers, whether married or single, we all at some point need encouragement and support on our motherhood journey. ❤
I love all of this! I will be sure to adopt the conversational prompts with my toddlers. As we all grow, I will definitely adopt the journaling prompts as well. I am big on journaling and am so thankful I found your channel. Keep paving the way and sharing with us as you grow.
Funny I was listening to this conversation while working out!!! Great advice with starting small. That’s how I started working out this year, I started with simply walking outside in the morning and now I’m doing strength training.
that is a fear for so many moms who are coming back to the workforce and it's so sad that companies still penalize moms for making the best decision for their family. I recorded this video with some interview tips, hope it can help you on your journey; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gipye9LEa40.html
That is pretty hard. I loved that Liz touched on that because it's so important. I saw your video the other day with you enforcing a boundary with your kids while you and your hubby were spending time together. You're doing a good job!
Can you. PLEASE stop dividing moms into "working" and not? I've never worked so much since I became a stay at home mom and I was a busy physician! I've seen it and I wanna go back for some break from SO MUCH WORK AT HOME!
Not trying to divide moms and it's unfortunate that you took it that way. Being a SAHM is a lot of work and I would never try to minimize that. I hope you were able to find some value in what I shared and did not get stuck on the working mom title ❤
Such a great interview! You inspired me to get on the peloton and spin while watching. Such great advice and a true inspiration to start small and see changes
Vanessa has been a HUGE inspiration to me as a mom trying to shift to making my health a priority. Thanks for this lovely interview! I learned so many little bits to take with me.
Oh wow! That’s amazing that you were able to be at home for 18 years! I hope the tips I shared helped you on your journey. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
