Are you a busy mom struggling to find balance between parenting, work, and self-care? Do you feel overwhelmed, constantly putting everyone else’s needs before your own, only to feel exhausted and emotionally drained? It’s a familiar challenge for so many mothers, juggling the roles of caring for one’s personal, family life, and career.
Meet Krista H., an HPWL graduate, who knows exactly how it feels to be in that space. In today’s podcast, she shares her journey of emotional transformation—learning to validate her own feelings, connect more deeply with her children and spouse, and find peace in the small, everyday moments. Krista proves that even with a busy schedule, moms can reclaim control over their emotional well-being and, in turn, become more present, empowered, and free. Find out how you, too, can make this shift. Discover how Krista did it—and how you can, too!
“Even though the program itself is over, whatever we’ve completed, we’re continuing to extend the things that I’ve learned into now. It’s never going to be the right time. You’re never going to have all the money that you wish that you had. And so with what you do have at this moment, I feel like it’s worth doing it. Because, then, you can keep reaping the benefits.” – Krista H.
