First VS Last

Mamas we often cherish and celebrate their children's first milestones with immense joy and excitement...

However, amidst the flurry of firsts, it's equally crucial to savor and be fully present for the lasts.

Boundaries and Balance: Encouraging Mothers to Feel Worthy and to Break cycles with Dr. Emily Jacobs

Boundaries isn't a new word, but during my conversation with Dr. Emily Jacobs, you can see boundaries with a NEW perspective.

"Is your boundary worth your self-respect or is it not?"

Dr. Emily Jacobs is an author, speaker, nurse, wife, mother, and Founder of Empowered Moms - a community where we raise the bars for mothers who know they are worthy of more, to overcome fear and guilt, break cycles, and pursue dreams beyond motherhood.

With over 20 years of healthcare in nursing and corporate leadership experience, Emily started her endeavor coaching healthcare providers and moms ready to up-level life, create healthy boundaries, recognize toxicity, and recover from their burnout stories.

Setting healthy boundaries in motherhood is an act of self-care and can honestly be downright uncomfortable. By embracing these boundaries, moms cultivate an environment where their worthiness isn't tied solely to giving endlessly...but also to acknowledge their needs and well-being. We want to model for our children the importance of self-respect and balance laying the groundwork for a future where peace and fulfillment aren't sacrificed for the sake of others.
