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:

• Not being everyone’s everything
• Having an identity beyond “Mom”
• Planning for who you are after the kids grow up
• 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?
