Our first Mighty Mom is: Me, Dr. Didi!
If I am going to ask women to open themelves up and share their Motherhood wisdom with us, I thought it only fair to go first and share my experiene with you.
1. What’s the most important advice your mom gave you? To forgive
2. What’s the most important memory you want to pass on to your child? The fun & love we share whenever we are together
3. What’s your go-to healthy meal? Grilled chicken or pork tenderloin with spinach salad with blueberries, almonds and goat cheese
4. What’s your favorite kid friendly snack? Sliced apples with peanut butter or cream cheese
5. What would your kids say is your “catch phrase”? “Get It Together!”
6. How do you want your kids to remember you in 20 years? As an active, attentive, funny & loving mom
7. What is the most important thing you have learned from Motherhood? How deeply passionate and boundless my love can be. Even my hardest motherhood moments are still peppered with how much I love my children
8. What is your most recent “Aha” mom moment? When my daughter told me that I was working out to lose “the fat” and I realized I was passing on the wrong messages about being healthy. Since then I’ve made a conscious effort to emphasize how working out makes me feel stronger, faster and happier and those are things she can relate to as a 4 yo and give her a much healthier self image.
9. What are you reading right now? Successful Media Marketing..I know: not very fun but I promise to do better this year! Does Elephant & Piggie from Mo Wilhem count!?!
10. What does Motherhood mean to you? Motherhood is an integral part of who I am. It made me who I am from the lessons I learned from my mother, to the lessons I learned from my children and finally from my patients. Motherhood to me means infinite possibilities because through Motherhood we preserve the past but we also create the future.
Motherhood is why I started “Healthy Mommy, Happy Baby”
