We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Alyshia Jackson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alyshia, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Having to rebuild my confidence and self-esteem was necessary after unexpectedly becoming a mother and to completely change the course of my life. Despite thinking I had everything planned out after high school, I faced a lot of doubt and uncertainty about the path ahead of me. I refused to let the label of ‘ young single mom’ define me and knew that I wanted more for myself and child. This experience pushed me to do the necessary self- work and take on any challenges I knew was best for me but not created for me to regain my confidence and self-esteem.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am Alyshia Jackson, an independent mother of two and a motherhood mindset coach. I am the founder of Mommy Co, a mom focused- movement that nurtures mothers from within. Throughout my own journey of motherhood, I experienced a loss of self-identity and feelings of isolation. This inspired me to create Mommy Co, recognizing the importance of community and support in motherhood. By fostering a sense of belonging and providing a platform for mothers to come together, we strive to empower mothers to thrive. Mommy Co hosts monthly events centered around self- care and self- love, emphasizing their importance in the journey of motherhood.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Empathy- Understanding and empathizing with the struggles and challenges faced by mothers during my own journey and motherhood allowed me to create Mommy Co with a deep sense of compassion and understanding.
Community Building-Recognizing the importance of belonging and support in motherhood, I focused on creating a strong community through Mommy Co where mothers could come together, share experiences, and uplift each other.
Self-Care Advocacy- Through my own experiences of losing my sense of self-identity and neglecting self-care, I realized the significance of prioritizing self-care and self-love in the journey of motherhood. This knowledge guided the mission Mommy Co to emphasize the importance of self-care practices for mothers to thrive.
The best advice for moms who are just starting their journey is to remember taking care of yourself is not selfish, but essential for your well-being and the well-being of your family.
Here are some tips:
1. Make yourself a priority.
2.Start small
3.Seek support like join Mommy Co movement
4.Practice self-compassion
5.More than anything Celebrate your progress
