Erica Ramsey joins RA to discuss the profound transition from career-focused independence to motherhood and how she's navigating this unexpected journey while maintaining her identity and business.
• Success in business doesn't automatically translate to feeling prepared for parenthood
• Becoming a mother in the first year of marriage required a complete mental shift
• The "glass balls vs. rubber balls" approach to prioritizing family and work
• Counterbalance rather than balance is a more realistic framework for working mothers
• Grace is essential both for yourself and your spouse as you navigate new roles
• Children need more spiritual grounding today than previous generations
• Being intentional about what you're imparting to your children when starting a family later in life
• Understanding your child's unique personality rather than imposing your preferences
• Healing from past experiences is crucial before entering marriage and parenthood
• You can change and grow beyond who you've been in the past
If you found this conversation helpful or eye-opening, please share it with someone who might benefit and subscribe to the Unlearned Podcast as we continue to gain the courage to change our minds and experience more freedom.
