S6 E08: Embracing the Chaos with Guest Rachel Newman on Self-Care and Thriving in Motherhood

Imperfect Mommying: Better Parenting through Self-Healing with Alysia Lyons

In this episode, we're excited to have bestselling author Rachel Newman, a beacon of hope for overwhelmed moms. As a mother of three, including twins, and a former high school German teacher, Rachel brings a unique perspective on managing the chaos of parenting. This conversation takes an intimate turn as we discuss the unpredictable nature of motherhood, from the background cacophony of barking dogs and coughing children to the deeper issues of overwhelm and self-neglect that many mothers face. Rachel opens up about her journey from resentment to rediscovering joy in motherhood and shares valuable insights from her book, "Mom Me," a guide to bidding farewell to overwhelm and prioritizing oneself. We dive into the importance of shifting focus from to-do lists to the impact of our actions on our family, the role of self-care in being a better parent, and the power of reframing our daily tasks as meaningful contributions. Rachel also highlights a crucial book in her life, "The Road Back to You" by Ian Cron and Suzanne Stabile, discussing its impact on her personal development and relationships. Join us in this heartfelt discussion that not only sheds light on the struggles of motherhood but also offers practical strategies and a reminder that amidst the imperfections and unexpected turns, you are doing a fantastic job. Rachel Newman is a bestselling author, life coach, full time employee, wife, and mom to 3 toddlers, a 5 year old and 3 year old twins. Basically she wears too many hats and has created systems to thrive in the chaos. Rachel believes that moms should never rank last on their priority lists and she teaches women to take care of themselves before serving their families. She's an avid Texas Tech football fan, distance runner, and coffee fanatic. Connect with Rachel: Instagram: @the.rachel.newman www.momsupportcorner.com Connect with me: linktr.ee/momsupportcorner
