Motherhood and Extreme Anxiety with Melissa Giller

May 7, 2023

How do we navigate the challenges of motherhood, anxiety, and finding our own path in life? Join me as I discuss these topics with Melissa, a personal development and life coach with a powerful story to share. Melissa's journey through motherhood and caregiving has been a transformational experience, driving her mission to have conversations about the reality of caregiving and the value society places on it.

Together, we explore the pressures women face in choosing whether to stay at home with their children or continue working and providing for their families. Melissa shares her personal story of transitioning from a consulting career to motherhood, and how she had to shift her identity and mindset in response. We also delve into the emotional and financial stress that comes with being a stay-at-home parent, and how we can balance the expectations of being the "perfect" mother with our own needs.
