Mastering Anxiety: Stress-Free Super Moms Techniques with Deanna Hart

In this episode of the Stress-Free Super Moms Podcast, I share my journey with anxiety, beginning from a stressful pregnancy to receiving my diagnosis. I discusses effective strategies for managing anxiety and stress, including deep breathing techniques like box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, and diaphragmatic breathing. I also emphasize the benefits of meditation practices such as progressive muscle relaxation and mindfulness meditation, alongside the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and using encouraging mantras. Additionally, I highlight the significance of recognizing when things go wrong, leveraging past experiences, and utilizing positive self-talk through 'I am' statements.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Stress-Free Supermoms Podcast! I’m Deanna Hart, and today I’m sharing my personal journey from feeling overwhelmed and anxious to finding calm and balance. This episode is all about self-care and why it’s so essential for us busy, often stressed-out moms. I’ll be giving you practical tips that have worked for me—like healthy eating, practicing mindfulness and meditation, squeezing in some exercise, and making time for things that bring us joy.

Some of my favorite strategies include waking up early to enjoy some quiet time, setting clear boundaries, and even exploring new hobbies. I’ve also got some great resources to share, like the Primal Potential Podcast, which has been a huge help in my own self-improvement journey.
