This week we’re talking with Jennifer Blossom, Founder and CEO of Blossoming Moms, a community for modern moms that helps women thrive.

Let’s dive in!

You help women gain a sense of calm and control when, let’s be honest, motherhood itself is anything but that! What is the one thing you aim to help women realize when we are feeling overwhelmed in motherhood?

You are in control! It’s so easy to let life and motherhood takeover but the truth is, when this happens, you’ll live life from a place of always reacting. REACTION MODE = OVERWHELM and it will make your motherhood feel like a never-ending to-do list of managing chaos instead of truly showing up and enjoying yourself and your kids!

You CAN create internal calm amidst the chaos of motherhood but it all starts with you taking OWNERSHIP over your mindset, your time, and your life. It’s a daily decision to commit and recommit and in doing so, you’ll create a life that’s truly in alignment with what matters most.

Favorite on-the-go energizing snack for yourself?

Peanut butter and banana!

3

What’s the one daily habit that has made the biggest difference for you?

Having a big glass of water first thing in the morning! It wakes up my body and is a big jolt of hydration before espresso!

What’s something motherhood has taught you that no other experience has?

Life is happening RIGHT NOW. So often we can get caught thinking about our past or future and we miss out on the present moment. Motherhood has taught me about the magic of NOW and to be truly present with myself and my kids…. It’s just the greatest gift of all!

5

It’s the end of a long, crazy day of working and parenting; what’s the first thing you do to unplug?

Take a hot shower and listen to an audio book or podcast!
