The Unfiltered Mom – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s episode, Elizabeth, Brooke, Kenisha, and Charmaine are diving into societal norms when it comes to careers or being a stay-at-home parent. They’re getting unfiltered about all the judging people do to one another about careers, the pressures of society to be seen as stable and making a ton of money in order to be successful, and how this is definitely not the case for everyone. How can we shift the way society views success so that we do not have to feel guilty for following a different path, and also, how do we stop the shaming and judging surrounding our own choices? How can we rewire our minds to think positively about these changes instead of focusing on the negative? And most importantly: when we follow what really, truly fills our heart and soul, we won’t have to worry about what anyone else thinks of our choices.

• Stopping the judgment of the choices of fellow women and moms when it comes to their career
• Creating your own version of success to avoid burnout
• Why we need to untie success and the amount of money we’re making
