Hi Natalie. I recently heard you talk about your journey from being a type, a ambitious career driven woman to slowing down and embracing a more soft feminine approach to motherhood. I really resonate with your story because I too identify as a high achiever and feel like I’m constantly juggling my career and motherhood, but honestly I’m struggling with slowing down and letting go of control. How did you make that shift? What mindset tips can you share for someone who like me finds it hard to embrace calm and balance without feeling like I am falling behind? Thank you so much for everything you do.

Alright my friend, thank you so much for asking this question. I know that so many people listening can relate to this and I too had a similar feeling and mindset and journey that I want to share with you. Before I even dive into any of the tools. I would say for most of my life I identified as high achieving type A and when I got, you know, older into my twenties alpha female and this really stemmed from how I was raised and what other people told me about myself, including my family and my teachers. And you know, later on my, my coworkers and colleagues and also that birth order that our family of origin really falls into, which is first, second and third child. Me being the first born girl, all of those traits that we kind of stereotype with first born girls I identify with. So by the time I was into my thirties, I had really become someone who was career focused. I was already practicing, as an attorney and then as a certified financial planner and then building my own business as a coach and paying off all my student loans.

And I knew the approach to my career, the approach to the work that I did in the world was really helpful for getting results because if you want to go achieve something and you really know how to get into that masculine energy which is productive and organized and disciplined and motivated, those character traits and skills are really helpful. And I learned how to increase my capacity in those areas and thrive. And that meant that I knew how to set and achieve big goals, go after what I wanted and it really did not have anything to do with intelligence. I say that because I had to work really, really hard, for example, to pass the bar. That was something that, took a lot from me and I’m just so proud of because for those of you who thrive taking standardized tests, I am in awe of you.

That is not me. And so to be able to really just do well, achieve my dreams, I always wanted to be a lawyer, be career driven and accomplish so much, I really did do that. At the same time I realized that the approach I was taking to my career wasn’t necessarily the best approach in the family life, personal life, dating life sphere. And this is obviously before I became a mom. I realized this, that even just with dating and eventually getting married, that those skills, those character traits kind of being in my masculine wasn’t the most useful for me, particularly as a woman who likes masculine men who, wants to identify as feminine, who really wanted to bring kind of that yin and yang to my relationship, which obviously is heterosexual. So I really started learning about femininity and slowing down and mindfulness and kind of just how to expand my skills and my character’s traits.

So I don’t ever think of this shift in my life as going from someone who, you know, was so driven and motivated, career focused and ambitious to someone who only embraces softness and slowness. I think of it more as like an expansion instead of an either or, like either I’m one way or the other way. Now I have the capacity for both and that is one thing that often comes up with my type A clients who are a little bit apprehensive of slowing down and resting and embracing kind of the the benefits of femininity and that side of the coin because the fear is, okay, well what’s going to happen to my life? What’s going to happen to my career? What’s going to happen to kind of that winning strategy that does work so well on the other side of the coin? And I want to assure you, that it really is an expansion of your self and of your capacity.

It is not something that you either are one way or the other. That’s really scarcity thinking. Either you can be really feminine or you can be really masculine and that’s it. Instead I think of it like a spectrum or a dial. You’re either turning up the dial or turning down the dial or if you think of a spectrum on one end of the spectrum, you’re in your masculine and on the other end you’re in your feminine and you can shift back and forth between the two. Prior to doing any of this work, I was just on one end of the spectrum. I didn’t have the capacity yet to go to the other end of the spectrum and I didn’t believe it was possible for me. So if you don’t believe it is possible for you to slow down and be calm and you have all the reasons why you grew up in a family of yellers, you’ve always been type A, you’re the firstborn, daughter, you, you know, thrive in your career, whatever the reasons are for why you think you can’t embrace slowness and femininity and calm and relax, those are the reasons that are stopping you right now.

But I promise you they’re not true. They’re just limiting beliefs that you have about yourself. And I say this with such competence because I remember vividly thinking, no, this is just who I am. I just am type A, I just am an alpha female, I just am career driven. I just am high achieving. And what I didn’t realize at that time was I was reaffirming my identity. I didn’t know that I could change my identity. And again, it’s not that I wanted to get rid of the part of me that was high achieving, but I wanted to expand my identity so that it wasn’t turned up all of the time because I realized that in my relationships that wasn’t serving me and it would serve me a lot better to add in playfulness and calm and femininity and slowness. And so I embarked on this journey my friends and it is one of my most proud journeys because I do have that capacity now.

I do have the dial that I can turn up in the feminine or turn down when I want to be more in my masculine, particularly with respect to work and content creation and and launching new products for you and all of that. But when I am with my family and when I’m with my kiddos and when I’m with my husband so much more softness and flow and femininity is turned up on that dial for me and the benefits are amazing, I don’t get as triggered. I don’t think things need to be perfect. I am much more able to navigate tantrums and hardened moments. The imperfections, don’t bother me in the house. I can let the laundry sit all of kind of the day-to-day. Things that might have bothered me when I was in my masculine don’t anymore because I just have my mom hat on, I have my wife hat on, I have my homemaker hat on.

So it’s such a beautiful gift that you can give to yourself that I have given to myself and I really, really want to encourage you that you can go on this journey. So that’s a little bit about my story. And I would love now to talk with you about how I created that, how I did that, how I went on that transformation and also how you can too. So I think mindset and identity have to be the starting point, at least that is what was the starting point for me. And I think it’s what made me so successful in this because I realized that just by telling myself I’m always going to be this way, I am type A, I have to be the alpha female, I didn’t even see it was possible for me to shift into more feminine, easygoing and laid back. So when you are starting with changing your identity, look at the way you talk about yourself, how do you identify even if you just shifted it to type a mom who’s becoming more calm, you can add in some qualifiers that make it really believable for you.

So this is really about starting with awareness, simply becoming aware of your current identity and your current mindset. So pay attention to your thoughts When you feel stressed or when you feel overwhelmed or when you feel stuck or triggered, that is a cue for you to go inward and ask yourself, what am I thinking? What is the story in my mind? That story is your mindset and it doesn’t mean you’re wrong for thinking it, it just means that’s what’s creating all of the negative emotion. And so what you want to do is become aware of the story in your mind, write it down just so you can get it onto paper and get it out of your head so that you really can see, oh these are my thoughts, I am not my thoughts, these are the sentences in my mind that are creating my experience.

And then you can also play around with the thoughts. There’s a class inside the Mom On Purpose Membership that is a top member favorite called cognitive distortions. And I teach you how to look at your thoughts and look at your mindset and kind of pinpoint any cognitive distortions. So you’re looking at where you’re catastrophizing or where you’re taking things personally, um, things like that. And that’s what you want to start to do when you write down your mindset is look at the impact of that mindset on your life. So if you have a mindset I can’t fall behind, then you are constantly going to be trying to outrun yourself.

I never tell myself I’m falling behind. I quickly just redirect my brain to there’s no such thing as falling behind. Behind and ahead aren’t things, they’re things that we make up in our minds. So for the person who wrote in who said it’s really hard to embrace calm and balance without feeling like I’m behind, take a minute and think about if that thought is helpful. What if there’s no such thing as being ahead or being behind? There are just a bunch of things and you get to decide when and to what extent you’re going to do them. So for example, if the laundry is piling up, instead of thinking if I take a break right now or if I rest, I’m going to be falling behind. Alternatively, you can say there will always be more laundry. The laundry can wait. I’m giving myself what I need right now by resting.

And that is important. Just that shift in mindset will create a completely different experience for you. I think too about the impact this has on our families. Like just think about kids when they grow up. They don’t say, you know what? My mom always had the laundry done that made her such an amazing mom. If you always have the laundry done but you are always stressed, you know what they remember My mom was always stressed. Now if you’re “behind on the laundry” or the laundry’s piling up but you feel rested and connected, you know what your kids remember. My mom took care of herself, she rested and she was so connected and present with us. Kids remember how you make them feel. They’re not going to remember the laundry. So that’s another selling point. I think the next part of this is challenging your thoughts, challenging your thoughts and noticing how they’re not helpful.

Even if a thought is true, if it’s unhelpful, you can focus on and find another better feeling, true thought because there are lots of thoughts that are true at the exact same time. For example, let’s say it’s been a really busy day and all of a sudden you realize that there’s nothing planned for dinner and it’s five o’clock and your brain has that thought, there’s nothing planned for dinner. Well that’s a true thought, but it is a thought. It’s your interpretation of the facts. But there are also lots of other true thoughts. So even though that’s your default thought, it’s kind of rooted in scarcity. And so what you can do is just shift that thought to a better feeling thought that is also true. For example, you might think something like, there are so many options for dinner tonight. We can have leftovers, we can have cereal, we can go out to eat.

It can be everyone on your own tonight. When you shift to a thought that you also believe is true, you will feel so much better than just going off of what your default thoughts are. And this is really because of the survival brain. So your survival brain is wired to scan for danger, it’s wired to keep you alive. That’s what it’s about. That’s why it’s called the survival brain. It’s the default mindset. So on default, your primitive brain is always scanning for danger to protect you, to ensure your survival. Most of the time, 9.9 times out of 10, if you’re listening to this podcast, you are someone who lives in a relatively safe environment and world. And so what that means for your survival brain is that your brain doesn’t need to scan for a lion coming down the mountain to make sure that you run and are safe.

Instead, your brain is scanning for danger in your home and the only danger it finds is something quote unquote negative. This means it’s pointing out to you what your spouse is doing, “wrong,” or what your kids aren’t doing or the laundry that you haven’t done. And because of that default wiring, you will feel stressed, overwhelmed, just more negative on default. So I constantly remind myself, my brain is wired for survival. It’s wired for the negative. That means it’s not wired for happiness and that means it’s my job to rewire it, to feel good, to feel calm, to feel happy. Just because something is your first thought doesn’t mean it’s truer than another thought. In fact, thoughts are equally weighted. So notice that your first thought is most likely coming from that primitive negative part of your brain. Don’t give it extra weight just because it was the first thought.

This comes up a lot when people ask me about gaslighting and mindset and they say, well you don’t want to gaslight yourself. And I say, well of course not. You want to believe a new true thought to you, but the first thought that you have, it might be true or it might not be. But regardless of that, it’s probably coming from your primitive brain, which means it’s probably going to be negative and it’s still a thought. The validity of that thought isn’t greater because it was first. So you can intentionally create better feeling thoughts from your prefrontal brain that create calm and patience and happiness and any of the feelings that you want to feel. But it is a practice, my friend. I love using mantras and journal prompts and journaling methods and just, you know, running thought models and repeating the mantras that I practice in my everyday life.

And I don’t do them all every day, but I mix it all up and inside the Mom On Purpose Membership. Every single week you get a set of new mantras and a set of new journal prompts. There is also a journaling course that helps you navigate challenges and live into becoming the woman and mom that you want to be. And a huge part of my shift was changing my identity, changing the way I thought about myself, embracing this new identity for myself, this calm mom, this mom who has, you know, this ambitious side and this mom who is patient and connected and grounded and playful and fun. And is seeing that come to fruition for myself and genuinely not feeling like I have to do, do, do and go, go go. And genuinely being okay with the laundry just sitting there is one of my greatest accomplishments.

I want to talk a little bit about kinda why journaling works and why writing works and how you can apply that to changing your mindset. And then I also want to dive into some of the common mistakes that I see come up a lot with doing mindset work, particularly for Type A moms. So first let’s talk about journaling. This is always a question I get for those members who say, I don’t know if journaling is for me. I don’t really like journaling. And I say, that’s fine if you don’t want to journal, you don’t have to journal. And also if you don’t have the results you want in your life, if it was me, I’m willing to try some journaling. So just notice if you’re saying you don’t want to journal but you also don’t have the results that you want in your life, then it’s okay if you don’t like it, I would still suggest doing it.

It’s kind of like you didn’t go to school and just tell your teacher, well, I don’t really like writing so I’m not going to be writing anything in this class. That is just not how the world works. And you wrote anyways in class and you didn’t even think about whether you liked it or not. So I think sometimes when we’re doing personal development work, we want it to feel so good in the process that we question everything. And I want you to just think about what do you want as the result? Do you want to become more grounded and calm and patient and easygoing? And is it worth it for you to write some things down even if you don’t like it to get that result? For me, of course the answer is yes. And I am someone who enjoys writing. Of course I have little ones right now, so much going on and that is in the best way.

But I find time to journal. I leave my notepad, my journal, and a pen on my nightstand and I do it first thing in the morning. I don’t do it every day, but I do do it a lot and it makes such a difference because it helps my brain focus on what I want to focus on. Instead of that default brain focusing on the to-do list or what’s in front of me, my brain is focused on what I wrote about that morning. So I absolutely love it. When you write things down, especially by hand. So I’m not talking about typing here, it engages both sides of your brain, the logical left side and the creative right side. And this actually helps promote clarity, focus, and it helps you be a better problem solver because on default that brain likes to spin in drama and the problem.

But when you’re writing, you will be much more likely to focus on solutions. Writing really helps you organize your thoughts and it makes them less overwhelming because as I heard someone once say, thoughts are slippery, so you have one thought and then another thought pops in and then you get a notification on your phone and then before you know it you’re thinking about the grocery list and you don’t even know what you were supposed to be thinking about with your mindset and you’re off to the next thing. That doesn’t happen with writing. So it’s a way for you to focus and really create the clarity that you’re looking for. What I love so much about journaling is that it activates your brain’s prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for the rational thinking and the decision making. And this can help calm down that emotional part of the brain.

This means you’re going to experience less stress, less anxiety, and it really allows you to put the unhelpful emotions in the backseat so that you are in the driver’s seat because you are writing intentionally. And the way I teach you how to journal is not just okay, write whatever’s on your mind because if you do that, you will probably write about your default mindset and the negative and all the things that are stressing you out. But what I teach you how to do is to look at your thoughts critically and decide on purpose what you want to think. I also teach you how to become that next version of yourself through identity statements, through becoming her journaling. We have a fantastic journaling course inside the membership that shows you how to do exactly this. A lot of my clients and members of the membership will ask me like, how do you practice this work?

When you say practice it, what do you actually mean? Can you just repeat the thoughts in your mind? And yes you can. But I always say, look at your results if you don’t have the results that you want yet, write down the mindset and the feelings and the actions that you want to think, feel, and do to create the results that you want. Because journaling helps reinforce new beliefs and new thought patterns and new feelings. Joe Dispenza calls this creating future memories. So on default your brain remembers what it’s done in the past, but if you start writing about what you want for your future, your brain can remember, oh yeah, I wrote about this future that I’m creating. And so it genuinely starts to remember what you want to create in the future and that is how you can become this next version of yourself.

And really how I did it in my own life was in large part through journaling and through saying to myself, I am calm, I am soft, I am feminine. And that led to me feeling softer and more grounded and slower and then realizing the sky isn’t falling my business and clients are still taken care of. And in fact, this is having such a positive impact on my relationships, on my marriage, on my kids, that that momentum kept me going. Again, such a gift to give to yourself. I’m so glad that I went through this journey. 10 out of 10 recommend it if you are thinking about it. Common mistakes that I see come up, particularly for type A moms who I work with are some mindset traps like perfectionism, thinking that you have to have everything done all of the time for everyone always. And this leads to a state of constant overwhelm and stress and frustration.

It really keeps you in a cycle of never good enough and it will lead to burnout. Instead of planning self-care and taking breaks and feeling rejuvenated, you will need an escape from your life. It really prevents you from enjoying the moment. As cliche as that sounds, it’s so true. It will be a lot harder for you to connect with your kids and your family if you are constantly scanning for more that you need to do. So I like to remind myself it’s not my job to do everything for everyone always. I like to also remind myself of the mantra, I don’t need to earn my rest or rest is productive.

A second mistake that I see a lot that I think is a mindset trap is comparison. Oh my goodness, my friends. If you are comparing yourself to other moms in your neighborhood, you know, in Facebook groups or on social media when you’re scrolling, it is such a disservice to yourself because first of all, as we all know, that’s the highlight reel. Everyone has a personal life and a private life and everyone has a primitive brain. So everyone has different challenges, but even still, even if someone is having the success or the ease that you want, using that against yourself creates disconnection from yourself. It will rob you of your joy and your peace and your delight and that is available to you right in front of you. So for example, you could be playing with your kids, laughing with them, having fun just out in your backyard, but if you’re thinking, oh well I just saw so and so she just took her kids on this huge, I dunno, Disney vacation, and you’re using that against yourself and thinking you’re not a good enough mom and you’re stuck in the comparison trap, you miss out on that opportunity just to have fun in the backyard with your kids.

So what I teach with respect to comparison is to stay in your own lane, remind yourself that your life isn’t supposed to look like her life and if there’s something that you’re noticing about her life that you genuinely want, that can be helpful so you can access your desires. And that goes back to your mindset about whether and to what extent you believe in your capacity to create your desires. So for example, if you see, you know that mom take her kids to Disney and you check in with yourself and you think, oh my gosh, genuinely I do want to take my kids to Disney. That’s useful, that’s useful for you to know what your desires are. But then if you immediately squash that desire with, but I’ll never be able to or, but we can’t go this year or whatever it is, you dim that desire, you have a limiting belief and that is mindset my friends.

Even if you can’t go today, you can still believe it’s possible for you in the future. You might believe something like, I don’t know when, but we’re going to Disney at some point. That shift in your mindset shifts your entire energy. So just notice again, it’s all about awareness. When your brain goes to the comparison trap, the next common mistake mindset trap that I see a lot with respect to type A moms is overthinking. And it’s not just overthinking, it’s overthinking negative thoughts. Because if you’re overthinking, positive thoughts wouldn’t be a problem, right? You be filled with lots of joy, but overthinking negative thoughts, overanalyzing decisions, beating yourself up second, guessing yourself, worrying excessively. I think this happens particularly with Type A moms because we are so good at analyzing. So it’s one of your strengths maybe in the workplace. When I think about being an attorney, if I am really detail oriented and good at analyzing something, that’s awesome.

If I’m reading a contract, not awesome when I am thinking about my kids or my life because it’s that same strength, but it’s overused. So your strengths overused become your weaknesses. I once heard someone say that and it’s so true and that is a lot of overthinking. Again, awareness of your negative thoughts is the way out of overthinking. It’s not that you stop the negative thoughts, but you question them. You see that they’re just thoughts, you replace them with better feeling thoughts and you have your own back. So for me, if it’s a decision I wouldn’t make, I can still validate myself and say something to myself like, you know what? I wouldn’t remake that decision, but I love the version of me who made that decision and I love me now and it’s all okay, I learned something from it. Do you see how that is true and are grounded in so much self-compassion and self-love?

So much more helpful. Okay, another mistake with respect to mindset that comes up a lot for type A mamas is all or nothing thinking it’s believing either I have to do it perfectly or I have to do it all or I failed, right? It’s like, you know, it’s either or, it’s all or nothing, it’s black or white. And this often leads to feeling like you’re failing as a mom giving up not doing more. You actually do less this way and you beat yourself up again. And I think it also promotes this unrealistic idea of life and of motherhood. And we all love to say like, I want to have it all, or I do have it all. Why aren’t I happier? Right? Like, what does that even mean? And so just notice if your brain is thinking I have to do everything or I failed because really that is all or nothing thinking that is not helpful. So I like to embrace a mantra like something is better than nothing. I may have not made a gourmet meal for my family, but I got out a pre-made frozen dinner from Trader Joe’s, warmed it up on the stove and everyone’s fed.

That still counts. There is always going to be someone who is doing more. And if you use that against yourself, you will be in the comparison trap and you’ll be in all or nothing thinking what I’m doing right now is good enough. Repeat that to yourself. Because if you’re constantly trying to outrun yourself in order to be good enough in order to earn your rest, it is exhausting. Please don’t do this. Take a break, take a rest. Believe that you are worthy of that and you don’t have to earn it. Okay, the last mistake that I see come up that I think is a big mindset trap is people pleasing. I’ve been doing so much coaching on this inside the membership. It’s crazy because I think a lot of times we don’t realize it’s people pleasing when it’s so people pleasing is when you sacrifice your own needs or wants or desires in an effort to make others happy.

IE in an effort to manipulate them. I like to use that word because I don’t think any of us intentionally want to manipulate someone and yet that is what we’re doing when we are not being honest with them. When we’re saying yes to something, when really internally it’s a no. This leads to so much resentment and disconnection. So for example, if your mother-in-law asks you to bring the family over this weekend and you already have a bunch of things planned, but you don’t want her feelings to be hurt, you don’t want to deal with the aftermath of what she’ll think, feel or do If you say no. So you say yes even though you don’t want to go at all. This is people pleasing. It’s neglecting what you want in an effort to control and manipulate someone else. Now this doesn’t mean you don’t do things that you never want to do.

You can actually do the same action from a place of genuinely wanting to give. So you might say to yourself like, you know what? My first choice isn’t to go over to Mother-in-laws, but I want to be someone who goes and sees her family with my kids on the weekends. And so I’m going to change my plans and we’re going to go because that’s who I want to be. That is very different than going because you think you should go or you have to go, or in order to be a good daughter-in-law, you’re supposed to go. Do you see the difference there? The motivation behind the action is everything. And that comes from your mindset. If you are constantly thinking that you have to perform a certain way and take care of everyone else’s needs in order to be seen as good, that is people pleasing. It leads to resentment and exhaustion.

It’s inauthentic. It’s really hard to be connected in your relationships and to yourself when you’re people pleasing. So remind yourself, I like the mantra, my needs matter too, and it’s my job to take care of my needs. Alright, as we wrap up, I want to go over some of the mindset tips for Type A moms that I’ve talked about throughout this episode. Just to kind of give you a quick breakdown to make sure that you have something to take away from this episode. Number one is to start with awareness. What am I thinking about myself? What am I thinking about my kids? What am I thinking about my spouse? What am I thinking about my family? What am I thinking about my home? What am I thinking about my life? Number two, write down these thoughts. Write them down. Because journaling is powerful. It allows you to use your prefrontal brain to decide what you want to think.

And on default, your brain is wired to look for the negative. It’s not wired for happiness. So you can rewire it through journaling. When you write down the thoughts that you have about your life, about your family, about yourself, then you can challenge your thoughts. And that is number three, challenge your thoughts. Question them. Be curious about them. Are they serving you? If they’re not serving you, you want to choose better feeling thoughts. And that’s number four, better feeling thoughts will help you change your mindset so that in a very real and practical way, you are enjoying your life. You’re not feeling so overwhelmed, you are embracing the calm, but you’re still able to have that part of you that is career driven and focused and you know, motivated and high achieving. It can be both. You can have both, I promise you. Number five is to avoid the common mistakes that I see so many of my clients and type A moms fall into.

Those are perfectionism, comparison, trap, overthinking, all or nothing thinking and people pleasing. And finally, number six, use mantras to remind yourself of who you want to be throughout the day. I sprinkled many mantras throughout this podcast episode, but I just want to remind you of some here. It’s not my job to do everything for everyone always. I don’t need to be perfect. I’m a human mom, not a robot mom. Balance is something I feel internally, not something I get externally. The laundry can wait. I deserve to rest. I don’t need to earn my rest. I’m becoming more laid back and calm every day. Come up with your own mantras that feel really good to you. I promise you, my friends, that there is nothing that has been more powerful to my own transformation, shifting from more type A to having the feminine in my capacity than doing mindset work.

I love that now what I can do is put on my mom hat and be playful and grounded and connected and happy and joyful. And I can also still access the part of me that is high achieving in type A. It’s not that I transitioned from X to Y, it’s that I transitioned from X to adding Y and now it’s X, Y. Do you see that? It’s really an expansion, not one or the other. And that is the most abundant way for you to shift your identity and become exactly who you want to be. Expand what you believe is possible for yourself by changing your mindset and you will very practically in your everyday life, see that expansion in your home, in your family, in your work, in everything that you do. All right, my beautiful friends, and we’ll talk with you next week. Take care.
