Confidence is key in life and motherhood, but not always easy to feel amidst the daily mom shuffle. Here is what has worked for me!

I talk about confidence as much as I can because I know its one of those things that we master and lose quite a bit in motherhood. Feelings of confidence have so many ebbs and flows. I always felt so confident during pregnancy, like I had everything under control, and then needed a boost postpartum.
Now, as a 35-year-old mom of two children who are in very different stages of life, I feel like a need to boost my confidence every single day. Kids are tough!
I try to look at all these mixture of motherhood moments that happen on a daily basis – the good and the bad – as learning experiences, and apply them to other parts of my life. As a friend, a wife, a business owner, and now – a Digital Marketing Manager for a wonder parenting company.
How I Use Motherhood to Boost My Confidence in Everyday Life
Let’s be real here: a huge part of being confident is having fresh breath. You will never be confident meeting someone new, having a sexy moment with your partner or giving a presentation if having a fresh clean mouth isn’t on your radar. Which is why I make sure that I have Ameolife’s Silver Mouthwash and Fresh Breath Spray handy.
Both items do an incredible job of supporting your oral health and unlike most store bough mouth washes and sprays, this is all natural and safe enough to be swallowed. So if you have a little one (like me) who follows you around everywhere and has to do everything that you do, you can feel confident about sharing these products with them.
You all know from past posts that Ameo Life holds a special place in my heart. Free from all the icky stuff (alcohol, sorbitol, methyl salicylate, phosphoric acid, disodium phosphate, sucralose, red#40 and blue#1) you always know you are making the right choice for your fam.
Now, in addition to fresh breath, here are a few things that I’ve taken from motherhood and use for added confidence when I need it most:
- Knowing that if I can “do” motherhood then I can do anything.
- Putting out fires at work has nothing on calming a 13-year-old and year-old screaming match.
- I’ve learned to translate those trusting my mom gut moments to trusting my gut in all areas of life. That’s not just something that develops when you become a parent, gut feeling all live within us.
- Motherhood has made you a multi-tasking genius! Own it and work it in all areas of your life!
- Flip the script: outside of motherhood, think about certain scenarios that make you feel less confident as if it was a moment you were advocating for your child. Is there a bully in the class? Pediatrician trying mom-shame you when you knew you made the right choice? Those are things that enrage us when they happen to our kids, yet we let them slide when they come to ourselves. Don’t let that happen.
I hope this has helped you push yourself outside of your comfort zone to always be the most confident version of yourself in all areas of life!
XOXO,
Allison
