You’ve heard us talk about “back in times of B.C.”. You know…Before Children?

By how life worked differently then.

One big thing that worked differently was friendships!

Many of us had school, work, or outside hobbies where we could meet people with similar interests.

But when you become a mom, many of us are cut off from those outside things and we struggle trying to make those friendships going forward.

And the truth is that mom friends are absolutely essential to your journey through parenthood!

Well, no need to fear, we’ve got 3 tips on how to make (and keep) those mommy friendships going strong!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

Find Your Passion

Many of us are guilty of it. We love our family to pieces. And most of the time, we love being a mom as well. But between all the hats we wear, all the responsibilities that we have…many of us don’t have much that is just something for us.

Find something that is just yours and you can feel passionate about!

Something that brings you joy!

That may be taking up a crafting hobby, hiking, playing a musical instrument, or something else entirely.
