63: The pressure to DO, BE and GIVE everything as moms. With Leather Bag designer and mom Emily Da Foe

Let’s face it, there is so much pressure on mamas to DO, BE, and FACILITATE everything. Getting back to our “real” job or accomplishing external goals often receives more accolades than staying at home and snuggling our babies. It takes a lot of internal moderation to make sure we stay aligned to our truth and pay attention to if our candle is about to burn out. 

Today’s guest and creative entrepreneur mama who makes creative, beautiful and unique handmade leather bags, Emily Da Foe, knows just how challenging it is to always stay present as a mama and business owner. This is why her and her two mompreneur friends recently launched her platform Present Day Moms that offers a perspective from a "far from perfect mother" point of view, who is navigating the waters of running businesses and a home! 

Today we discuss: 

1.) How saying yes to too many things can lead to burn out

2.) How society often recognizes hard work as "external work" rather than staying at home with our kids & how this can lead to unneeded pressure as moms. 

3.) Why staying creative is important for self fulfillment 

4.) The ups ad downs of mompreneurship
