273: Why I Shouldn't Have Been Afraid to Become a Mom

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was afraid to have a baby. I wasn’t a maternal woman, I loved work so much, I enjoyed every ounce of freedom, I wanted Drew to myself, I didn’t want to “ruin” my body and I required 10 hours of sleep a night... </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were so many reasons why I worried about becoming a mom and yet this yearning came on, 5 years into marriage after we vowed we’d never have kids.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That was the start of a caption I shared just one month into motherhood. It’s how I felt before I knew how I would morph into a new version of myself, one I never imagined myself becoming. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe it’s because we waited three long years or we prepared for the worst. I realized those fears were taking up space that could have been filled with dreams. Being a mom is the BEST thing I’ve ever done and it’s stretched me in new ways.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With this episode, I want to speak to the women who want to become a mom but feel fear. My fear ran deep, too. Today I’m sharing how motherhood has changed both me and my business, and what I’ve learned that told me I never had anything to be afraid of at all.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY:</span> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES: <a href="https://jennakutcherblog.com/momlife/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://jennakutcherblog.com/momlife/</a> </span></p>
