Parenting is hard. Having a career is hard. Doing both at the same time (and doing both well) sometimes feels close to impossible. The overwhelming pressure, the emotional exhaustion, the guilt and self doubt and, in a lot of cases, the lack of proper support can take a serious toll. Not only on your own emotional well-being, but on your relationships with your family too.
Whether you're looking to overcome any self-doubt in your role and decisions as a mother, feel less guilty when you put yourself first, have less resentment toward your spouse when you take on more than your share of the household/family responsibilities, OR if you're terrified that the time you spend focusing on your career will eventually create a significant distance between you and your family, you're in the right place.
I have a proven solution that has worked for tons of moms to help them thrive at home while having a career, and feel more confident about themselves and their choices without sacrificing their family relationships. And this is all packaged up into one 12 week program.
Beat Burnout. Overcome Resentment and Guilt. Improve Confidence and Connection -
While Having A Career. All Without Sacrificing Yourself.
You're burned out from trying to be everything to everybody all the time but still don't feel like you're doing enough
You struggle with guilt for not being able to spend enough quality time with your kids
You constantly feel angry at your spouse for not helping enough or not taking initiative at home – as a result, there is a lot of conflict and arguing at home
You feel resentful because, as much as you try to explain it to him or her, nothing ever changes (and if it does, the change is only temporary)
You feel disconnected or distant from your family due to time constraints
You feel isolated or unsupported in managing family and career responsibilities
You have a hard time setting boundaries between work and family life
You struggle with feelings of inadequacy or not being a “good enough” parent, especially when you start comparing yourself to others who seem to do it all so easily
You worry about how focusing on your family will negatively affect your career growth and future promotions - and you worry about how time spent on your career will negatively affect your relationships at home
You're constantly tired and irritable, and you take those feelings out on those closest to you
Separating work from home so you can be truly present and enjoy the time with your family
Feeling connected and emotionally supported by your spouse
Confidently powering forward in your career knowing that your relationships at home will be secure
Setting and maintaining boundaries at work and home without worrying about how the other person will react or respond
Feeling secure in your parenting abilities and embracing imperfections while letting go of unrealistic expectations
Having a supportive network of friends, family and community resources to comfortably lean on so life doesn't become too overwhelming or isolating
Feeling mentally and physically healthy because you actually take time to take care of yourself
Putting an end to comparisons and judgments by other people and focusing on the things that matter most to you
Ending the anger and resentment toward your spouse while shifting your perspective and expectations
Focusing on things you have control of while letting go of the things you don't
I get it. It seems like a fantasy. Well, fellow momma, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be. YOU actually get to decide the way you live and experience your own life and I can show you how.
As a career-driven mom myself,
I know the challenges we face. More often than not we think, “I have to choose between what's best for my career and what's best for my family,” when really we can absolutely do both with the right strategies and support. Success in one area actually compliments the other.
We also often think that our own situations are different than everybody else's – “nobody can understand or help.” Well I'm here to tell you that although our situations are in fact unique, in a lot of ways they're also very similar - with the help of an experienced professional, you can learn how to overcome the specific challenges that come from being a working mom. And while you may have unsuccessfully tried other things in the past, new approaches can have different outcomes. It's all about finding the person and approach that's the right fit for you.
Think of the Butterfly Effect - When one thing shifts it creates change all around it. You have the power to positively change your relationships. You have the power to adjust your mindset. YOU have the power to change your life.
Hi, I'm Christi Gmyr. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and a Coach for Moms.
As a mom of two young kids with the drive to keep pushing forward in my career, I have personally experienced and know first-hand the difficulties we face. I am hooked on helping other moms live their lives free of burnout, resentment and guilt while confidently powering forward in their careers without sacrificing their relationships at home.
I have worked in Community Mental Health in both therapist and management roles throughout many different programs and currently have my own successful private practice. And the last eight years I continued to do it all with kids. Every single one of those positions has had struggles along with varying degrees of support. Some things were in my control and some weren't. But I've realized that despite all those things, I ultimately get to decide how I want to live my life, what things are most important to me, and how I'm going to allow those things to affect my relationships and my personal well-being.
And you can too.
Let's Do This
The Thrive As a Career-Driven Mom Program offers education, practical tools and strategies, accountability and support so you can improve your relationship with your spouse and kids without losing yourself or your goals in the process.
