Welcome back to my Comeback Era series, where I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of my life and business over the last year.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Where is comparison or perfectionism causing you to hold onto goals or visions that don’t actually align with your heart? Our idea of a “perfect” mom or business owner is aspirational, but you’re not a failure if you don’t fit that mold perfectly.

  • Is your identity too closely tied to your success in a certain aspect of your life? Instead of your business being your “baby,” can you separate yourself from it in a healthier way?

  • In a hard season, it’s so easy to get caught up in a “why me?” victim mentality. Let yourself wallow for a bit, and then, refocus your attention to what you can actually control.
