In this episode of the Mom Owned and Operated podcast, Rita Suzanne and Jessica Kostrzewski discuss raising a family, running a business and remembering yourself.
Jessica Kostrzewski specializes in coaching moms on how to put themselves first. As a mother, wife, and another female walking this earth, she found that she was always putting herself last; last to eat, last to sleep, and last to have a self-care day. Jessica, like most moms, thought it came with the job. As a wife, she just wanted her husband to be happy, and as a woman, she found that society easily let her stand in the back row. No More!
At the beginning of motherhood, Jessica struggled with controlling her emotions, being fully present with herself and her children, juggling stress, and feeling burned out almost every night, and worse she was gaining weight and developing diseases.
Her cup was empty, and she felt hopeless like maybe she was a bad mom.
When Jessica's beautiful daughter hit her teens, she started struggling just as she was. She noticed her moods were low. She was not dealing with her stress in healthy ways and how could she?
She never taught her, heck Jessica was never taught how to have...
Self-Compassion, Self-Regulation, or Self-Care.
Learn how to fill your cup first so you can teach the next generation how to do it for themselves. One of the biggest lessons she learned as a coach is you can only bring your client as far as you have gone; what about parenting? Jessica found this also to be true.
You can find Jessica on her website, Instagram, Facebook and her Facebook Group.
