Presence Over Performance: Rewriting the Narrative of Modern Motherhood

In this special episode of ItMom, the roles are reversed as I step into the guest seat and am interviewed by Courtney. Together, we explore the shift from hustle and girlboss culture toward a more intentional, presence-led way of living and mothering. We talk openly about the privilege of pausing, what it means to step back in a society that glorifies constant productivity, and how allowing myself to slow down reshaped my identity as a mother and as a woman. This conversation unpacks the quiet pressure many women carry to always perform, achieve, and prove, even during the most vulnerable seasons of life. This episode is an invitation to question the narratives we’ve inherited, to redefine success on our own terms, and to embrace presence as a powerful and radical choice. ✨ Here, it’s all about you. 👉 If this episode resonates, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a mom who needs to hear it.
