About
Hello!
I’m Jessica Larson, a psychologist, wife and mom to two children.
I’m glad you are here.
Being a mom can be filled with so many challenges. From busy schedules, parenting worries, and work-related stress, it’s no wonder most of us feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
As women, we are taught to put everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. Too often we neglect ourselves in an attempt to support the needs of our family.
The reality is this: Nobody benefits when you don’t take care of yourself.
I know this reality because I lived it. For several years, I consistently put the needs of my family and career above my own needs. My life felt out of my control.
It wasn’t until I identified the source of my suffering – I was not taking care of myself– that I was finally able to become the person I want to be.
The challenges of being a mom are still there – every day! But now that I prioritize caring for myself, I have become a more grounded and loving mom to my kids. My relationship has strengthened with my children and with my spouse.
Through Mama Be: Self-Care for Moms, I hope to bring you stories, strategies and practices that have helped me take better care of myself as a working mom. I’ll share evidence-based strategies I have found to benefit parents during my career as a psychologist.
I am SO HAPPY that you are visiting my website. Please reach out if you have any thoughts or questions that will help you on your path. I look forward to connecting with you!
With love,
Jessica
