How does Meredith Masony's approach to motherhood empowerment differ from others?

I focus on reminding moms they are moms, not martyrs. A lot of “empowerment” messaging still subtly tells women to give up everything for their kids and just “self-care” around the edges. I push back on that.

I talk openly about:

1. Not being everyone’s everything
2. Having an identity beyond “Mom”
3. Planning for who you are after the kids grow up
4. Letting your kids meet the full you, not just the caretaker

Most voices cheer on sacrifice; I challenge it and normalize being a whole person.

Is there a specific struggle in motherhood where you’re looking for more empowerment right now?
