How to receive Love and Support

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana opens up about the challenge of receiving love and support as a mom—and why we're often the ones standing in our own way. From realizing she never asked for her own Christmas stocking to understanding that people can't read our minds the way we read theirs, she shares the raw and honest truth about mom resentment, over-giving, and the guilt that comes with doing it all in silence. She explains how knowing what you want, identifying where you get resentful, and actually asking for help can transform your relationships and your boundaries. You don't need to do it all alone to be a good mom—you just need the courage to tell the people who love you how they can show up for you.
