Motherhood & The Brain

How Professional Success Can Shape Motherhood Dynamics

Esther Mbabazi Episode 9

In this podcast episode, I delve into the intriguing link between being a successful professional and struggling with the challenge of yelling at a preteen daughter. 

It highlights how the high standards and expectations that drive achievement at work can unknowingly spill over into motherhood, resulting in frustration and disappointment when things don't go as planned. 

Yelling often becomes a reflex, driven by a need for control and fear of not measuring up. It stresses the importance of acknowledging these dynamics and striving for a more balanced approach in parenting, centered around connection, empathy, and understanding.
