83. Why NOW is the time to Rebel Mama w/ author Laura Rafferty

I have the absolute pleasure of speaking with Laura  Rafferty! This longtime rule-following mama realized that in order to succeed and be the best version of herself, and by extension, the best version of her mama self, she had to bring out her rebellious side. Now, Laura is sharing her message with the rest of the world with her new book Rebel Mama.    During our powerful conversation, Laura speaks about what inspired her to write a book and how she managed to do so while taking care of two babies, the power of being vulnerable, cultivating the rebel mama mentality, and how to take care of yourself outside of being a mom.   In this episode, we cover:

• Writing a book while having two babies [2:55]
