Beating Parent Overwhelm by Managing your Energy Instead of Your Time with Heather Chauvin

Today Dr. Dan’s guest is Heather Chauvin, the inspiring leadership coach who helps ambitious, overwhelmed women break free from their fears to courageously and authentically live, work, and parent on their own terms.  Heather started her career as a social worker helping adults understand children’s behavior. In 2013 a stage 4 cancer diagnosis pushed Heather to take a deeper stand for change and to work to uncover how cultural expectations sabotage our dreams. Dr. Dan and Heather discuss how women can learn to stop the endless cycle of Mom-guilt so that they can be more present and more connected both at home and at work. Heather Chauvin is a TEDx Speaker, the author of Dying To Be A Good Mother, and the host of the Emotionally Uncomfortable podcast (with 9 million downloads). For more information, please visit www.heatherchauvin.com.
