Hello Wonderful Mom!

Are you feeling held back from pursuing your dreams because you're worried about making mistakes in front of others? Maybe you've been wanting to learn a new skill, start a business, or pick up a hobby, but the fear of judgment is stopping you?

In today's episode of the Spring Into Action Series, I share science-backed strategies to help you overcome the fear of learning in public and embrace personal growth. As both a scientist and a mom, I understand the vulnerability of trying new things while others are watching - such as presenting your work, starting a home project, or figuring out homeschooling. This episode is full of mindset shifts to manage fear as well as helpful advice on how to learn realistically in your chaotic mom life. To help demonstrate these tips in action, I also provide specific examples from my own life.

Remember: Your journey of growth, even with its imperfect moments, is inspiring your children and creating lasting impact. Hit play, and let's solve for Mom together!
