Welcome back to the New Mom Boss Podcast!
Being a first-time mom can be overwhelming, especially when you don't have all the support you need.
And when they lack proper support, many first-time moms can experience analysis paralysis or fear that keeps them stuck when trying to make decisions.
Monika Malan, our guest for this episode, knows this firsthand.
She was 8 months pregnant when the pandemic hit, and gave birth in the first month of lockdown. With limited support, she turned to the internet for advice, only to find conflicting opinions that led to analysis paralysis.
In this episode, Monika shares her journey of overcoming analysis paralysis and making decisions with confidence as a first-time mom.
We discuss the tips that helped her in the decision-making process, the importance of respecting boundaries and communicating your limits to the people in your life, and her tips for feeling empowered and not being afraid to say no.
