In this podcast episode, I’m chatting with Brittany Bergman, an educator and a publisher, and we talked about chasing dreams in early motherhood and beyond.
She shared about overcoming anxiety and external pressure during pregnancy and transforming herself through her experience with motherhood.
We also dived into:
03:58 Early years of Brittany’s career
07:53 Anxiety during pregnancy
11:04 Working full time and not having a daycare
12:22 Being overwhelmed with trauma
15:23 Doubts of becoming a mom
16:45 Motherhood is illuminating
19:19 A rollercoaster ride

27:17 Feelings of fulfillment
28:02 The ability to change course
31:01 Defining success
34:12 Taking one step at a time
38:16 Knowing ourselves well
Brittany believes that moms don’t need to be everything they thought they should be, that it’s okay to navigate your way through motherhood, to struggle and find that sense of self you need to keep yourself grounded and fulfilled.
