Have you internalized the self-belief of working hard and still not being enough?

If yes, you are not alone. All too often we moms suffer from negative self-talk that makes us feel incapable and unworthy. That's why in today's episode I will talk about how we can transform our mindset into beliefs that calm our nervous system, nurture our well-being and enable us to best care for ourselves and our beloved children.

In our Beginning Well parenting quiz, a staggering 91% of moms surveyed said they feel inadequate when it comes to caring for their children.But how can we transform our self-limiting thoughts into beliefs and habits that work for us instead of against us, that help us to treat our child with patience and compassion and also to feel good about ourselves?

Very often toxic negative self-talk goes back to a childhood where we might have experienced reactions and treatment that led us to believe that the way we talk, walk or behave is not enough, isn't acceptable or blamable Because as a child it's safer to put the blame on us than on the adult caregiver that we rely on, we intelligently internalize the misconception that there is something wrong with us, that we are untrustworthy.

Once we comprehend this untrue self image that's deeply wired into our mind and body we can choose to think better thoughts about ourselves to acknowledge and appreciate our true being.

To practice that, you can think of three) positive words that value yourself: For example: "I am a powerful, thoughtful and loving mother." Repeat these words to yourself at least once a day (or more often) to reprogram your negative self-beliefs and emotions of not being good enough that holds you back, keeps you stuck and hiding.

Advice for Moms Who Want to Overcome Self-Doubt

I am deeply convinced that we all come here for a reason, filled with self-confidence and trust.. If we have early experiences that make us feel unworthy or like we have to change who we are, we internalize negative habits, emotions and beliefs about ourselves. This automatically leads to a lack of self-trust and self-worthiness.

Only through growing self-awareness and conscious decision to change the way we think about ourselves, we can change our entire well-being.

Every thought we think has a physical reaction and an emotional response. So changing our mindset is crucial for our well-being and the development of our children.

Before becoming a parent, honestly, how often did we look at and judge other parents and swear that we would be better?

Today, I'm taking you behind the curtain and sharing a personal story with you to show you how my feelings of guilt and shame were sabotaging me from being a mindful mom. I share three transformative steps that helped me to go from self-limiting beliefs such as "I am not good enough" to feeling confident, calm and at peace with each interaction with my daughter.

What can we moms do to not only prevent ourselves from having moments of losing our cool but instead find our way out of this painful feeling of shame that not only hurts our loved ones but ours as well?

• First, we need to acknowledge our behavior and change our mindset so it's working for us instead of against us. This step is critical because without becoming self-aware we can not initiate change or control our behavior.

• Next (and this is the most important) give yourself some grace and remember that you can only give what you have and that no one is perfect. We are all learning as parents and if we expect perfection we are only seeing ourselves up for failure.

• Finally, have the courage to be different. Find YOUR own WAY, rather than trying to please everyone else.

Advice for Moms Who Want to Overcome Self-Doubt

The better we understand ourselves, our wounds, trigger points, judgmental reactions, and protection strategies, the better we can bolster our well being and parent mindfully. Parenting is about finding inner ease, confidence, and trustful togetherness. It's about thriving into our full potential. As parents, as well as supporting our children to do the same. You are here to enjoy parenting, not to suffer.

In today's episode, we welcome a wonderful brave, and honest mom as a special guest, Mandi Brown, who is joining us for a free parent coaching interview.

As moms we too often suffer from the heavy weight of mom guilt: Are we doing everything right? Do our children get what they need and not take any harm from our behavior or the decisions we make? How much am I allowed to prioritize my own needs? Is there a work deadline I'm missing? Our negative self-talk keeps running all day long.

It's our mom guilt that takes our energy NOT our children! Our self-limiting beliefs take away the daily joy that our children bring into our lives and we constantly try to do better instead of feeling enough!

Mandi honestly shares with us that it only compounds when you also have a child with special needs. During this insightful coaching session, I explored with Mandi simple yet effective tools to transform our feeling of not being good enough in just a moment into self-appreciation and inner calm.
