Last week I was invited to attend a fantastic event called the G(irls) 20 Summit. At the summit, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund in Canada unveiled the Dove Movement for Self-Esteem in an effort to encourage and support positive self-esteem within girls and women to they can feel more confident and reach their full personal potential. I encourage you to join the movement, if you haven’t already.
I’ll be blogging all about my experience and sharing some conversations that came out of “One Girl Can: A Discussion on Mentorship” that was held in conjunction with the G(irls) 20 Summit. In particular, I will share a video interview I did with Jess Weiner where we talked about self-esteem in mothers and how it affects parenting our children.
But first, I have to tell you that I was incredibly moved by the entire experience that day.
Here’s a story for you.
That day was my birthday. I down played it, told very few and just made it be like every other day. Because I did not want to draw attention to (or celebrate) me.
After experiencing that event, I saw that is just plain nuts.
We must celebrate ourselves, every day.
I tweeted out:
And almost everyone responded a bounding YES!
Many of us ride that rollercoaster, some swoop higher or lower, but we all ride it. I ride it. Regularly.
So I am starting a movement - right here on EverythingMom.
I have started a group for moms to come together and share our highs and lows, talk about them, get real about them and manage them. In our Mom Esteem group we can share tools and explore ideas that will bring us to strong place of modeling positive self-esteem for our children.
I am looking for a Life Coach who specializes in self-esteem to partner with EverythingMom in this pursuit. This involves:
- Coaching me (Michelle, the founder of EverythingMom) once a week for 12 weeks
- I will blog about our coaching and my journey in hopes of sharing my insight with moms everywhere. Each post will be linked back to our chosen Life Coach’s website.
- Be available for potential coaching clients from our Mom Esteem Group, perhaps even setting up a group coaching program.
If you are a Life Coach and this sounds like all kinds of fun, then drop me an email to hi [at] everythingmom [dot] com expressing your interest and we can set up a sample session to see if we are a fit.
And moms, come join me in our Mom Esteem group, because really? I don’t want to do this alone.
The art of parenting is complicated. Thank goodness, when it comes to decorating kid’s rooms, the art of children is not.
