I see this all the time after talking to hundreds of mothers... A woman says, “I just need to ask my husband if I can do this…” Let me stop you right there. You're not a teenager asking to borrow the car. You're a grown woman. A mother. A critical piece of your family’s well-being. And yet… we’ve been so deeply conditioned to ask for it instead of declare it. To downplay our own needs To justify every dollar spent on ourselves To feel guilty for taking up space — or asking for time, energy, support, or help. Especially for my stay-at-home moms and trust me, I know what you’re thinking... “But I don’t make the money, so I don’t get to decide how it’s spent.” But here’s the truth mama. Because you save your family thousands of dollars by being home. You run the household. You raise the babies. You show up all day, every day. You are the CEO of your home and you deserve a “paycheck” just like anyone else on the team. You deserve to have a say. You deserve to take care of your body You deserve to feel strong, healthy, and whole because your health is the foundation of your family’s health. And if you have a daughter, ask yourself this... What message are you teaching her when you constantly put yourself last? When you whisper your needs instead of owning them? This episode is your wake-up call. I’m diving into the difference between asking for support vs. asking for permission, and how to shift the conversation with your spouse in a way that’s clear, confident, and collaborative — without guilt. ✨ You are not “just” a mom ✨ You don’t need to apologize for investing in yourself ✨ You are allowed to say, “This is what I need. How can we make it work?” 🎧 Tune in now to hear the full conversation, learn the communication frameworks, and reclaim your voice. You are worthy of taking up space, mama. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ahSVIRGv5Z599r1D2lPoz?si=31dfb73544074168 Drop a ❤️ if this hit home. Let’s talk about it below ⬇️
