Today on BOAM we have a STORY!! Nicole Lessio came on to share her experience of becoming a mom. She’s been with her husband since she was 17, which I was in complete awe about. They have four kids together, the oldest is 24 and the youngest is almost 12 at the time of recording.

Nicole was so open, a true delight to talk with about the realities of motherhood. She shared about the challenges of an episiotomy, feeling very isolated and tired as a young mom, facing judgment and feeling pressure to sleep train, the weight and overwhelming responsibility of breastfeeding that no one talks about, and the utter necessity of connection in early motherhood, among many other things.

Her perspective was refreshing since she has adult children. It's fun to hear of birth stories from decades ago and to soak up enlightening insights on the evolution of motherhood and parenting as our babies grow up.

In today's episode, we're diving deep with Tessa Romero, exploring the transformational power of mindset in motherhood.

Tessa is a mindset expert for moms wanting to show up as who they want to be, now. She is mama to three boys with her fourth baby on the way and she is close to celebrating 10 years of marriage with her husband.

She’s the owner of MOMSET where everything she has created has been through her own lived experiences and working on herself so she could heal into who she wanted to be. She knows in her heart that motherhood is an absolute honor and also incredibly difficult in more ways than many of us anticipated. Her work shines a light on how to make your mind work FOR you instead of making things harder.

In Part 1 of this Mama Mindset episode, Tessa shares her journey from a victim mentality to empowerment, highlighting how pivotal changing our internal dialogue can be. We talked about identifying our feelings, using "I am" statements, and choosing words that shape our reality. For anyone struggling to balance personal well-being with the demands of parenting, Tessa offers practical tips and powerful insights on making intentional choices that reflect who we aspire to be. Tune in to reshape your thoughts and reclaim your power.

Stay tuned for Part 2!!
