273: Why I Shouldn't Have Been Afraid to Become a Mom

Published: July 10, 2019, 8:30 a.m.

I was afraid to have a baby. I wasn\u2019t a maternal woman, I loved work so much, I enjoyed every ounce of freedom, I wanted Drew to myself, I didn\u2019t want to \u201cruin\u201d my body and I required 10 hours of sleep a night...\xa0\nThere were so many reasons why I worried about becoming a mom and yet this yearning came on, 5 years into marriage after we vowed we\u2019d never have kids.\nThat was the start of a caption I shared just one month into motherhood. It\u2019s how I felt before I knew how I would morph into a new version of myself, one I never imagined myself becoming.\xa0\nMaybe it\u2019s because we waited three long years or we prepared for the worst. I realized those fears were taking up space that could have been filled with dreams. Being a mom is the BEST thing I\u2019ve ever done and it\u2019s stretched me in new ways.\nWith this episode, I want to speak to the women who want to become a mom but feel fear. My fear ran deep, too. Today I\u2019m sharing how motherhood has changed both me and my business, and what I\u2019ve learned that told me I never had anything to be afraid of at all.\nGOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/\nGOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/\nGOAL DIGGER SHOWNOTES:\xa0https://jennakutcherblog.com/momlife/
