From Stay-at-Home-Mom To Discovering Her Inner Author: The Wit, Wisdom and Margarita Recipes of Makensi Gage

In this episode of Mom to MORE™, host Sharon Macey is joined by guest Makensi Gage, mom of 3 and author of “It’s a NO From Me: A People Pleaser’s Guide To Freedom(ish)”

In her book, “It’s a NO From Me..A People Pleaser’s Guide To Freedom(ish)”, Makensi identifies the obstacles that many of us are faced with just because we are women…which she believes also comes with so many unrealistic standards. She shares her peaks and valleys, life experiences that will have you nodding in agreement, many lessons learned, and embarrassing moments that will make you laugh out loud.  She’s navigating the exhausting job of being a wife and mom of three, all while trying to find herself. What seemed impossible suddenly feels within reach after utilizing the freedom of saying NO.

Join Sharon and Makensi as they discuss the importance of being open and honest in relationships, the power in saying “no”, and embracing grace and patience.

Makensi's story serves as a reminder that it is okay to ask for help, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care as a stay-at-home parent. The mental load of parenting is real, and it is essential to recognize and address it in order to maintain mental health and well-being. By sharing her experiences and insights, Makensi inspires other mothers to embrace their journey, find their voice, and prioritize themselves in the midst of the chaos of parenting.
