Today #onthepodcast we are talking all things self-love, body positivity and Momfidence (mom+confidence *get it?) with the one-and-only, Courtney St. Croix.

Today is a topic near and dear to YGTMama. We are looking at not only identifying as a BOSS but as a BOSS and a MAMA.

It’s easy to look at entrepreneurs with envy and wonder how on earth they did what they did? Then… when motherhood happens, the task can seem even more daunting. How is it possible to start a business or write that book or do that thing (whatever i...
