Kelly's advice on how moms can be more confident in their role, and manage the stress and pressure are the following:<br> <br> Get clear on your values and your vision, and your aspirations.<br> Be grounded in your own identity.<br> Use self-care as an opportunity to get in tune with your abundance, and fill your self.<br> Get clear about your boundaries.<br> Learn how to interact with people that doesn't compromise or sacrifice who we are.<br> <br> When are firm about boundaries, we can know where to delegate responsibilities, what our limits are, how we can balance the responsibilities to share the load, and also manage the times when we feel inadequate and give ourselves some grace. The energy we bring to our family is the underlying family culture that our family feels. What we bring to our family energetically is our family culture!<br> "If I'm working on me, and I'm trying to be the best human I can be, that's enough!"<br> Reading is a form of self-care and modeling your abundance mindset, and growth mentality.<br> <br> Recommended Books:<br> <br> Just read! :)<br> <br> Any of Brené Brown's work.<br> <br> "No Bad Kids: Toddler Discipline Without Shame" by Janet Lansbury<br> <br> "The Self-Aware Parent: 19 Lessons for Growing with Your Children" by Cathy Cassani Adams<br> <br> "The Self-Aware Parent Two: 23 More Lessons for Growing With Your Children" by Cathy Cassani Adams<br> <br> "Living What You Want Your Kids to Learn: The Power of Self-Aware Parenting" by Cathy Cassani Adams<br> <br> "The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children" by Dr. Shefali Tsabary<br> <br> "Middle School Makeover: Improving the Way You and Your Child Experience the Middle School Years" by Michelle Icard<br> <br> "The Available Parent: Expert Advice for Raising Successful and Resilient Teens and Tweens" By Dr. John Duffy<br> <br> And, for some fun reading: Liane Moriarty books<br> <br> Where to Find Kelly:<br> <br> Rising Up Coach<br> <br> Facebook<br> <br> Instagram<br> <br> <br> Have you subscribed to my newsletter yet??<br> <br> <br> <br> #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; } /* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.
