What do you do when you finally become a mom - the thing you wanted so badly - but it doesn't look or feel like what you were expecting? When you have anxiety that you never had before? When you can't stop thinking about how you're messing this whole mom thing up?

On this week's episode host Amanda Haro is joined by Dr. Wendy O'Connor, a positive psychologist & life strategist, who shares her story of becoming a mom of 3 girls within 18 months (one kid and then surprise twins).

They discuss:

• Dr. Wendy's experience with postpartum anxiety
• Sibling dynamics
• Helping twins develop their individuality
• How to make new friends as a mom
• How to design your life on purpose
• How to balance motherhood and career life
• How to discover your values
• Breaking free of doing what you think you "should" do so you can live an authentic, joy filled life
