Ep 173: Welcoming Season 10 of The City Confessions- Celebrating First Year as a Mother- Biggest Five Life Lessons- Friendship/ Relationship Changes- Don’t take things personally- Release Control

THE CITY CONFESSIONS

This is the first episode of Season 10 and I am so happy to be back. I talk about my first year as a mother and the lessons I've learned. I dive deeper into my reflection on my journey in the hopes that you can take something from it. Topics include:

- Welcoming Season 10 of The City Confessions: life updates regarding my first year as a first time mom, looking back at my traumatic birth experience, and celebrating my son’s first birthday

- Summarizing the five life lessons I’ve learned on my motherhood journey including:

1) Friendship changes in life transitions/milestones: they can evolve and thrive with you or they will end but that’s part of life. Everything has a season and an expiration date

2) Relationship changes with your partner: you will go through different phases in a relationship but you have to embrace what comes in your way and see the bigger picture and ride it out

3) Don’t take things personally: not everything is about you and nobody is focused on you as much as you think4) Be more flexible with plans: not everything needs to be planned and scheduled5) Release control: once you release control, you experience less stress and can have more fun when you’re spontaneous

- Confession and goal: I want to travel to Asia with my son and my confession is that I am scared with it being such a big trip but I want to challenge myself and overcome that fear
