S4E8 from anger to awareness: shifting the victim "MOMset" with Tessa Romero
Tessa Romero is deeply passionate about helping mothers become the moms they truly want to be—grounded in a strong, resilient mindset. With personal experience in trauma and healing, she has walked the difficult path of self-discovery and transformation. After years of therapy, she developed her own healing process, built on powerful shifts in perspective and a deep understanding of motherhood's unique challenges.Through her journey, Tessa has learned to embrace life's challenges as opportunities for growth. Her ability to see perspectives others may miss is what makes her coaching so impactful. She knows firsthand the struggles mothers face—anger, exhaustion, and the feeling of being stuck—and she is committed to helping women break free from limiting beliefs. Tessa's heart for this work stems from her own transformation. During her first pregnancy, she realized that traditional therapy wasn't giving her the tools she needed to truly heal. She discovered that the way she thought directly shaped her reality—and that by shifting her mindset, she could step into the calm, patient, and present mother she aspired to be. Now, through MOMSET, Tessa is building a community that empowers moms with the tools and support they need to create lasting change. She is excited to grow the MOMSET team, expand its reach, and help even more women step into motherhood with confidence, joy, and clarity. this episode is for the mom who's at times angry, short tempered ..and maybe even feels "too far gone" Today's episode we dive into: ✔️ how childhood trauma shaped her intense anger and guarded demeanor ✔️ how pregnancy with her first son opened her eyes "I came to this realization where I knew if I didn't learn how to do something different with adults I would never do something different with my children" ✔️ hard work = being vulnerable, the one to go first ✔️ why protecting who you are is one of the greatest things you'll ever do ✔️ our emotions don't get it wrong, our mind does ✔️ letting your presence be enough ✔️ being a reader as a mom with young children ✔️ the difference between "can't" vs "don't want to" ✔️ victimhood inside of marriage 📝 Journal Prompt: how do I want my kids to feel around me? 📖 Book Referenced: Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley ☕️ Tessa's contact: instagram || podcast || website 💬 Annie's contact info: email || join email blast || instagram
