What you think may be keeping you stuck in your health journey.
It may sound blunt, but your mindset could be the biggest thing standing between you and reclaiming your pelvic health, restoring vitality, and thriving in both motherhood and career. Whether you’re a postpartum mom rebuilding core strength, a busy professional juggling work and family, or navigating the hormonal shifts of peri-menopause, your brain plays a huge role in how you approach your well-being.
Why Mindset Matters
Your thoughts shape your emotions, and your emotions drive your decisions. If you feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or guilty about prioritizing your health, it’s easy to push self-care to the bottom of your list. But healing and sustainable health begin with the right mindset—one that supports growth, self-compassion, and lifelong well-being.
How Do You Think Like a Woman Who Thrives?
Here are three key mindset shifts that can transform your approach to health and wellness:
1. Rewire Negative Thought Patterns
Your brain is wired to look for problems, but sometimes, it keeps you stuck in cycles that slow your progress. Negative thought patterns like these can prevent you from taking meaningful steps toward better health:
-
All-or-nothing thinking – Feeling like if you can’t do a full workout, there’s no point in doing anything. (Spoiler: 5 minutes of movement still counts!)
-
Guilt-driven choices – Skipping meals, ignoring pain, or overcommitting because you feel like you “should” be doing more.
-
Comparison traps – Judging your body, energy levels, or health progress against someone else’s journey.
-
Blaming and frustration – Feeling like your symptoms (pain, leaks, fatigue) are out of your control and will never improve.
Awareness is the first step to change. Start catching these thoughts and replace them with empowering ones. Instead of “I don’t have time for exercise,” say, “I can move my body in ways that fit my day.” Small shifts create big results.
2. Focus on Sustainable Health, Not Perfection
Your body is always changing—from postpartum to peri-menopause and beyond. Instead of chasing a number on the scale or an image in the mirror, focus on feeling stronger, moving with ease, and having the energy to show up fully in your life.
Ask yourself:
-
Am I experiencing fewer aches and pains?
-
Do I feel more energized throughout my workday?
-
Am I handling stress better?
-
Is my pelvic health improving (fewer leaks, less discomfort, better control)?
These are the markers of real, sustainable progress—not perfection.
3. Lead with Self-Respect and Compassion
As a busy mompreneur or working mother, you pour so much into your family and career. But your well-being is just as important. The way you treat yourself—your body, your health, and your time—sets the tone for everything else.
-
Speak to yourself like you would a dear friend.
-
Honor the strength and resilience of your body.
-
Give yourself permission to slow down and prioritize your health.
When you shift your mindset from “I have to” to “I get to,” self-care becomes a privilege, not a chore.
