14 Questions Every High-Achieving Mom Needs to Ask Herself in Early Motherhood
I’ll cut to the chase today.
There are 14 questions that every, single one of us should be asking ourselves in early motherhood. If you are no longer a “new” mom, it’s definitely never too late to be asking yourself these life altering questions, but the sooner you do, the better.
What feels hardest for you in motherhood right now? What is the challenge, pain point, or struggle that keeps showing up over and over again?
How is this impacting your daily life, your relationships, or the way you feel about yourself as a mother?
What do you feel this struggle is costing you emotionally, mentally, professionally, or personally?
What is this preventing you from fully experiencing, enjoying, or creating in your life and motherhood?
How is this affecting the way you show up with your child, your partner, your work, or the people you love most?
Who do you feel you become when you’re stuck in this cycle of anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, or exhaustion?
If things could truly change, what would you most want to experience instead in motherhood and in your life?
How would you want to feel when you wake up each day and move through motherhood?
Why does that matter so deeply to you? What feels important about creating that kind of experience for yourself and your family?
What would becoming calmer, steadier, and more connected make possible for you?
How would your child, your relationships, your career, or your overall well-being benefit if you felt more grounded and supported?
Who do you believe you could become if you no longer felt trapped in anxiety, pressure, or survival mode?
What kind of mother, woman, leader, or partner do you most want to be able to show up as consistently?
If you trusted yourself more deeply and felt emotionally steady, where do you imagine that could take you and your family over time?
Most people will never pause and reflect on these questions because doing so brings up too much emotional discomfort.
But this option has only one outcome– continued, often increasing, struggle. Not just for that mom but, ultimately, for her whole family.
Motherhood is exceptional. It is mind blowingly inspirational and life changing. I absolutely love being a mom, and the depth of love for my two daughters is beyond verbal explanation.
And….
Becoming a mom rocked me to my core and I was not expecting that.
The relationships I have with my 2 daughters now (19 and 17) are filled with trust, love, curiosity, safety, and joy. And I know that this is because I asked myself these questions when they were little… and refused to settle for anything less.
You do not need to have all the answers right now. But asking yourself the right questions can change everything.
These questions changed my life, and they continue to shape the way I mother, lead, love, and live.
Save this post for the days when you feel disconnected from yourself.
