Self-Love Isn't Self-Care

Self-Love Isn't Self-Care

What if self-love isn't what we've been told it is? In this episode of Mom Gone Mild, we're talking about the difference between self-love and self-care and why they aren't the same thing. From keeping the promises you make to yourself to setting healthy boundaries, motherhood, confidence, and learning to stop abandoning yourself, this is an honest conversation about what self-love actually looks like in everyday life. I'm not an expert. I'm simply sharing what I've been learning on my own journey of becoming a healthier, happier, and better version of myself. If something I've learned can help you too, then that's exactly why I started this podcast. If you've ever struggled to put yourself first, questioned your worth, or felt like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else, this episode is for you.

To My Younger Self... Everything Worked Out

If I could sit down with my younger self over coffee, here's what I'd say. This week's episode is dedicated to my younger sisters, Olivia, Emma, and Sofia but it's also for every woman who's ever felt behind, heartbroken, lost, or wondered if everything was ever going to work out. We're talking about embracing girlhood, the magic of female friendships, why you shouldn't rush love, healing, comparison, finding your own timeline, and learning that the older version of you is capable of so much more than you ever imagined. From flip phones, AIM, MySpace, and Jersey Shore nostalgia to heartbreak, healing, and becoming the woman I am today, this might be my most personal solo episode yet. If you've ever felt like everyone else is moving faster than you, this episode is your reminder that your timeline is YOURS. Trust it.

Learning to Love Yourself Again

In this episode of Mom Gone Mild, I'm sharing a very personal conversation about learning to love and respect yourself again after life changes you. From becoming a first-time mom at 36, battling postpartum depression, overcoming addiction, losing 57 pounds, and rebuilding my life one small decision at a time, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn't happen overnight. We talk about motherhood, healing childhood wounds, body image, self-respect, recovery, mental health, and what it really means to become the best version of yourself. If you've ever felt stuck, struggled with confidence, questioned your worth, or wondered if you'll ever feel like yourself again, this episode is for you. Remember: you don't have to become someone else. You just have to keep showing up for yourself. 🤍 Follow Mom Gone Mild on Spotify 🤍 Leave a review if this episode resonated with you 🤍 Share with a friend who might need to hear this message

You're Allowed To Be The Villain In Someone Else's Story

Have you ever noticed that the moment you start setting boundaries, speaking up for yourself, or changing old patterns, someone suddenly has a problem with it? In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most honest conversations I've had on Mom Gone Mild. We talk about people pleasing, motherhood, accountability, boundaries, growth, and what it really means to become a better version of yourself. For years, I tried to be who everyone wanted me to be. The easygoing daughter. The understanding friend. The person who kept the peace. But motherhood forced me to take a hard look at my priorities, my relationships, and even myself. I'm opening up about: • Why people don't always respect boundaries • Learning to stop abandoning yourself for approval • Motherhood and shifting priorities • The difference between protecting your peace and proving your point • Accountability and personal growth • Why a soft life doesn't mean being a soft target • Becoming her without pretending you're perfect This episode is raw, real, and unfiltered. Because the truth is, growth isn't always pretty. Sometimes it's uncomfortable. Sometimes it costs you approval. Sometimes it means becoming the villain in someone else's story. And maybe that's okay. Connect with Mom Gone Mild Instagram: @momgonemild_podcast 🎁 Don't forget to enter our Wellness Giveaway currently happening on Instagram!
