Unicorn Moms and Making Yourself Happy First with Parenting Coach Eirene Heidelberger

This week we begin to dip our toes into a departure from #quarantinecheckins and back to looking at what it's like to be a woman who happens to be a mom, and we feel like our chat with GIT Mom founder and parenting coach Eirene Heildelberger was the perfect segway.

If you're feeling like you need a mom-confidence kick in the booty, Eirene is your woman.

The GIT Mom system is the only system that focuses on the mom, rather than the kids, allowing moms to give their children the parenting they need so they have time to do the activities they most enjoy! GIT Mom teaches you how to parent more efficiently so that you have more “me” time.

The journey to becoming GIT Mom was not a simple one for Eirene. Her oldest son was not an easy baby. As a clueless first-time mom, Eirene was anxious and stressed and she missed her pre-baby life. After a few months of struggle, Eirene committed to doing things differently. She learned to compartmentalize his crying and her irrational need to “do it all”. She perfected a sleep schedule and carved out personal time in her weekly schedule. These small adjustments were just the seeds of the GIT Mom system, which now is being used full-time by moms around the country.

Today, Eirene assists moms with every type of parenting issue, such as sleep training, scheduling, returning back to work, and teaching kids the value of listening and respecting others. All with the ultimate goal of empowering moms to be happy, confident, guilt-free parents. Because if mama isn’t happy, then no-one is!

In addition to running GIT Mom, Eirene is happily married and has three sons. With the GIT Mom system in full effect she has plenty of family time, but still gets her work-out in, drinks her beloved wine and watches plenty of the Real Housewives.

Here's some things we cover:

We share our own parenting insecurities and our struggles with being a threatening mom, bribing mom and yelling mom.
Mom Guilt
Raising children that know the world doesn’t revolve around then. 
How happy, confident moms raise healthy confident children
How Eirene is a coach who focuses on mom's happiness first, and believes that from there you can be a great parent

If you're feeling overwhelmed these days, or even if you just second-guess your decisions from time to time, have a listen and realize you're a unicorn, but you also are not a unicorn and that's ok. You're doing a GREAT job!
