Podcast Episode 104: Yes! You Can Do What Scares You with Sara Dean

Raise your hand if you regularly do what scares you. Not so sure? Let’s try this one: raise your hand if you felt totally unprepared for motherhood. Theeeere we go. Every single one of us was scared to bring that little bundle home. TBH, we’re still scared each and every day! For some reason the universe entrusted us to be parents with pretty much zero training. Now we’re having to figure out how to parent, and how to navigate our jobs, health and relationships at the same time. Most of us are just winging it and hoping for the best. Fingers crossed!

For some moms, that fear – of the unknown, of failing, of being too much – can be crippling. But it doesn’t have to be. Not only can fear be overcome, it can actually be a motivator. Just take it from our super inspiring guest this week, Sara Dean of The Shameless Mom Academy. Sara is a mindset, business and leadership coach who’s biggest passion is helping women own their space – reminding us that perfect sucks, self-care is a basic human need, and connection with like-minded women will change your life. Check out the podcast to hear more from Sara including how we can all overcome our fear to do BIG, amazing things!
