Ever feel like you're 'too much' or find yourself shrinking to fit in?

This episode is for the mom who is tired of filtering herself and wants to give her kids (and herself!) the gift of living authentically.

Join Shawna and Cara as they discuss the courage to stop dimming your light, how to deal with the 'too much police,' and why being unapologetically you is the ultimate power move.

TLFMTR (Too LONG for Mom to read):

• When you worry about being "too much," turn the question around: "Too much for whom?"
  

• Shrinking yourself isn't humility; it's self-erasure. Your unique presence is a gift to others.
  

• Leaning into 100% of who you are is a power move that attracts the right people and makes you more effective.
  

• Showing your children what it looks like to be confidently and authentically yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give them.

What is one way you can give yourself permission to be your 'full, goofy, dorky self' this week, knowing that the world needs the real you?

Remember, you don't have to apologize for who you are, you already belong.

This episode is for any mom who is grateful for her supportive partner, and also for any mom who wishes she had more support.

Shawna and Cara open up about their own experiences with "dad drama" and discuss how having a partner who is a true safe place can heal old wounds and shape your identity in motherhood.

They talk about the importance of friendships, the different kinds of support, and what to do when your relationship feels rocky.

TLFMTR (Too Long For Mom To Read):

• Having a supportive partner can be a healing experience, especially if you had a challenging relationship with your own father.
  

• It's normal to feel a mix of gratitude and sadness when you watch your child with a wonderful parent you never had.
  

• If your partner isn't your safe place, it’s crucial to build other support systems and openly ask for help.
  

• Support doesn't just mean fixing problems; sometimes, it means holding space for someone to fall apart.
  

• Focusing on your own growth is the most powerful way to improve a relationship.
