Starting the Self-Discovery Process:
Lisa shares the importance of remembering that you are human, a person, and showing it from the time your kids are young.
She believes that the path to rediscovering oneself begins with introspection and asking the right and intentional questions. During our discussion, she emphasized the importance of identifying your true emotions, understanding your desires, and nurturing your innermost needs. This is the self-awareness stage of the process. It is time to commit to ourselves.
As many of us can relate, the challenges of balancing motherhood and a career can be overwhelming. Lisa shed light on how to navigate these feelings of guilt and the sensation of losing oneself in the identity of a working mom. She encouraged us to recognize that guilt often stems from our own fears and insecurities.
Additionally, Lisa underscored the significance of self-love and self-care in our daily lives. These concepts aren’t just buzzwords; they are fundamental to nurturing our well-being. During our conversation, Lisa shared practical strategies for incorporating self-love and self-care into our routines, even amidst life’s inevitable stressors.
Overcoming Unrealistic Expectations of Motherhood
In today’s society, the expectations placed on mothers can be unrealistically high. Lisa reminded us that it’s essential to define what works for us individually and not conform to societal pressures. We discussed the importance of creating a safe space for our children to learn and grow while acknowledging that we are also on our unique journeys of growth and self-discovery.
Lisa Boate’s journey from educator to Transformational Coach is a testament to the transformative power of embracing one’s true self. Her insights on self-discovery, dealing with guilt, and prioritizing self-love and self-care provide valuable guidance for anyone navigating life’s transitions.
