276: Slaying the Dragon of Self-Doubt
Katherine Wintsch is the founder and CEO of The Mom Complex, where she works alongside Fortune 500 companies to help develop better products and services for mothers. In her book, “Slay Like A Mother: How To Destroy What’s Holding You Back So You Can Live The Life You Want,” Katherine combines more than 10 years of groundbreaking research on motherhood with her own personal journey—and she’s sharing her findings with us this week!
Our conversation touched on motherhood, therapy, our shared Peloton obsession, and so much more. We discussed:
How to correct the voice in your head
How to feel worthy of your own achievements!
The one (mistaken!) belief moms all over the world share
How to look at social media as a “highlight reel” rather than a day-to-day reality
How to set intentions and expectations that reflect your goals, not your fears
Why “more” is a four-letter wordCommon pain points of American moms—hint: one is mealtimes!
How to practice kindness toward yourself
Why saying “no” to others really means saying “yes” to yourself
Why you don’t NEED others’ approval
Her advice for my 2020 Ta-Da List (for anyone hoping to write a book, this is a must-listen!)
