Podcast Episode 179: Reclaiming Your Life When You Become a Mom with Amanda Rush

Did all your personal and professional goals disappear when you became a mom? Even if you dreamt your entire life of motherhood, all of your other wants and desires don’t simply vanish the second that newborn makes its appearance. So why does society expect us to be completely and utterly fulfilled by rearing children? Oh, and haven’t you heard, “you CAN have it all” – so hey, go get a job too!

If you’ve come to No Guilt Mom, chances are you not only recognize that there is a whole wide world outside of being a mother but you’re actively trying to figure out how to reclaim your place in it. That’s why we are so excited to bring you this week’s episode of the podcast! JoAnn and Brie sit down with Amanda Rush Holmes. Amanda is the mom of 2 boys, and CEO of The Virtual Assistant Studio, Creator of The Full Time VA, and host of The Millennial Mom Movement Podcast.

Listen in as these working mamas discuss the difficult decisions piled on women (Does my current company offer paid leave? Who will stay home with the kids when they’re sick? Can we even afford childcare? Do I sacrifice a career I love for more time with my kids?) and offer solutions to finding flexibility and fulfillment in your life as a mom.

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast, you’ll learn:

Ways to adjust to that first-time mom feeling of “losing your freedom”
How to find your identity as a mom and a valuable worker
The steps to create freedom and flexibility in your day-to-day life
