Limitless Mother Podcast Episode Sixteen

#016: Mum Guilt, Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome: Letting Go of What Isn’t Serving You with Anya Hayes

Hey loves! I’m excited to bring you today’s show as I’m talking to Anya Hayes who is, amongst other things, author of the fantastic book The Super Mum Myth. Anya and I dig into so many great topics, such as Mum Guilt, Perfectionism, Self Doubt, Imposter Syndrome, the list goes on.

But here’s what’s interesting: Anya helps women with postnatal health and well-being and I help women to create success on their terms. On the surface, our work might not sound like it has a ton in common. But what struck me most from our conversation was just how pervasive these themes are for us as mothers AND business owners and I was reminded once again of how important it is for us to take a holistic view of our lives and businesses because they DO all blend together. And when we commit to taking care of our health and well-being, whether mentally, physically or both, that can have a beautiful impact across our lives, not just in the one area we might have intended.

So, let’s do it, let’s dig into Mum Guilt, Perfectionism, Imposter Syndrome and more! Let’s let go of those things that aren’t serving us and choose a new, more supportive narrative.

Let’s go to the show.
