How to Transition to Be a Stay at Home Mom with Nicole DeLeon
Nicole DeLeon is no stranger to a busy schedule, as she is a mom of a vivacious little toddler and stepmom to two teenage boys. Nicole is also a certified yoga alliance instructor of ten years who has always had a natural affinity for helping get others inspired and fired up about their health and wellness.
After having her baby in the spring of 2017, Nicole realized how isolated and disconnected moms and parents can feel when playing the role of caretaker to everyone in their lives. As an exhausted new mom, Nicole became interested in hearing stories from other women and how they handled the ups and downs of motherhood and how they found alignment and joy in their own lives without feeling guilty for taking care of themselves.
Nicole knows first hand how the high levels of stress and responsibility that arise as a parent can cloud a person’s vision and purpose. The Soul Mamma’s Podcast and community was born out of the hope that she can connect women together so they don’t feel alone on their journeys.
