Fresh Take: Leslie Forde of Mom's Hierarchy of Needs
Ever heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? Maslow proposed a pyramid as the pattern through which human needs and motivations generally move. We can't worry about what's at the upper levels of the pyramid until and unless the more basic needs at the bottom of the pyramid\u2013\xa0food, warmth, safety\u2013 are met first.\nLeslie Forde, founder of Mom\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs, has rethought that pyramid for the way we live our lives as mothers. There's a reason there's not enough bandwidth in our lives for fun and connection and self-actualization. Mom\u2019s Hierarchy of Needs provides moms with products, research and community to reclaim time from their never-done to-do lists.\nIn this episode, Leslie explains:\n\nWhy mom's hierarchy of needs is a little different than Maslow's\n\nWhen and why your hierarchy of needs might shift\n\nHow to prioritize your career, healthy relationships, and self-care in your own hierarchy\n\n\nLeslie says that it's important to realize your health and wellbeing is equal in importance to your children's health and wellbeing, and once you internalize that, you can start to make room for your own needs without feeling guilty or frivolous.\nHere's where you can find Leslie:\n\nFacebook: @MOMSHIERARCHYOFNEEDS\n\nTwitter: @MOMSHIERARCHY\n\nIG: @MOMSHIERARCHYOF_NEEDS\n\nLeslie's TimeCheck app\n\nhttps://momshierarchyofneeds.com/\n\n\nOur episode "Isn't This Supposed to Be More Fun?"\nSign up for the What Fresh Hell newsletter!
