Motherhood doesn't kill your ambition or dreams, this does

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 internal war every mom faces between the woman she was before kids and the mother she's become. From feeling guilty about wanting more to recognizing how that inner turmoil affects your kids, she shares why saying things out loud and knowing what you actually want are the only two things that will stop the cycle of overwhelm and mom guilt. You don't need to sacrifice your dreams to be a good mom, you just need to stop fighting yourself and start voicing what you really want in a space where other moms actually get it.
