How to Trust Your “Mom Sense” with Kanika Chadda-Gupta

Have you ever wondered how maintaining your professional identity can fuel your confidence as a mom?

What if embracing both roles could actually empower you in ways you never thought?

Meet Kanika Chadda-Gupta. She’s not just a mom; she's a woman's advocate, a journalist, and the creator of the podcast “That’s Total Mom Sense.” Kanika shares her journey from experiencing multiple miscarriages and challenging pregnancies to becoming a mother of three, all while accelerating her career and launching a successful podcast.

We talk with Kanika about how she navigated her role as a new mom, utilizing her maternity leave not just to bond with her baby but also to manage work tasks during NICU visits and delve into the world of talk therapy and supportive communities to combat postpartum depression. Her story emphasizes the positive impact that self-care, self-compassion, and building a supportive community around mothers can have when you lean into your own “mom sense.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you should connect with your inner self daily: It’s so important to trust your inner voice, which will guide you through tough decisions in motherhood and your career. Start your day by connecting with yourself and practicing self-compassion
• Why community support is paramount for mental health: Finding supportive communities can be a lifeline. These communities can provide comfort, validation, and practical advice, helping you feel understood and uplifted.
• How to pursue your true calling with purposeful goals: Set clear, measurable goals aligned with your true calling. Celebrate your accomplishments, learn from your mistakes, and remember that patience and self-care are essential, especially when balancing multiple roles.
