Welcome to The Higgins House with me, Andrea Higgins! A podcast where I empower you to be the incredible human and mother God created you to be. My hope for you is to stop feeling like a terrible person if you don’t love motherhood, and to stop picking yourself apart for not doing things the way other moms do it. Stop questioning your worth, and doubting your strengths, and let’s create a community where you feel loved, heard, and seen.
I get it, I’m living the life right now. I know there are days that it feels absolutely impossible to raise these tiny humans and love every second of it. But I am here to tell you: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are strong, you are brave, and you can do hard things!! And it is OKAY if you don’t love every second of it!! Motherhood is wonderful, but it’s also HARD. This is a space where we are real and raw and honest about the tough stuff, celebrate the great stuff, and give kind and supportive feedback and suggestions to fellow mamas in the thick of raising wild ones.
Every episode, I (and many of our guests) will dish you a dose of real-life experiences and actionable advice for building the mindset you want, creating unshakable confidence, and embracing your true self.
Each week we will share stories on topics like raising special littles, marriage after kids, your body after babies, and managing behaviors, and we will give you transformative mental shifts that will help you show up for your life in a powerful way. Are you ready to join the mom club? Let’s do this thing together!!
