528: 5 Years Of Lessons On Leadership And Motherhood
5 years ago today I launched the first episode of The Shameless Mom Academy.\xa0To be honest, if it hadn\u2019t been for a pushy coach I would likely still be saying, \u201cI think I\u2019m going to do a podcast soon.\u201d\xa0\nStarting is the only way to find the magic and I\u2019m so glad I started when I did.\xa0I wasn\u2019t quite sure what I was doing and I wasn\u2019t quite sure why I was doing it.\xa0I only knew I had some things to say.\xa0\nI wanted - no, needed - to talk about the trauma of motherhood.\xa0It had shaken me to my core.\xa0Nobody warned me about that part.\xa0Everyone told me I would be tired.\xa0No one told me I would be completely lost.\nI also needed to talk about the shrinking of women.\xa0I was pissed that I had been a participant in an industry that thrives - to the tune of many billions of dollars a year - on telling women they must be smaller in order to be valuable.\nSo, yeah - I had things to say.\n5 years, 264 powerhouse guests, 528 episodes, 3.5 million downloads.\nI\u2019ve a few learned things - and most of them haven\u2019t been easy lessons.\xa0In today's birthday episode I will share the top 5 lessons I\u2019ve learned on leadership and motherhood over the last year.\nThank you for listening and inviting me in to your ear week after week.\xa0It is a privilege I do not take lightly.\xa0I\u2019m so honored to be on this Shameless journey with you.\nLinks mentioned:\n\nApply for one-on-one business and leadership coaching with Sara\n\nGet on me email list to get Shameless Mom Con Collective info\n\nLeave a review for the show\n\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
