Show Notes: The 5 Personality Patterns

Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #108 of The Secrets of Supermom Show! 

When someone says work-life balance do you sort of want to laugh? Do you believe it is simply not possible with the load you carry? 

I see you.

You are spending late nights and early mornings just trying to catch up. 

Your to-do list feels like it gets longer by the minute.

You have your laptop with you wherever you go. 

You constantly feel exhausted and drained even after the occasional good night’s sleep–if you can even squeeze in one.

You feel under pressure every day, even when you “should” be relaxing.

What if I told you there was a better way?

What if I told you that you didn’t have to choose home over work or trade one for the other?

What if there was a completely different way you could look at work-life balance that actually worked?

If you found yourself nodding along, I personally invite you to register for my free workshop where I unlock the secrets to help you achieve real work-life balance even as a crazy busy, seriously ambitious mom.

I can’t wait to show you what it’s like to have more time, less stress, and boundaries you can count on. Head to secretsofsupermom.com/balance for all the details! 

Real Work Life Balance for Busy Working Moms

Today’s guest is Michelle Grosser, and I was simply fascinated with her discussion of personality patterns and how they impact our coping skills but even bigger, our parenting. 

Michelle is a mom of two, lawyer turned life coach for millennial moms, and host of The Calm Mom Podcast (formerly The Motherhood Podcast) with Michelle Grosser. By teaching women how to access their mind-body connection, she helps them heal and grow through things like self-doubt, burnout, and setting healthy boundaries so they can rediscover the deep joys of life and motherhood.
