Episode Details

In this episode, I share my personal experience of emotional resistance leading up to a family gathering at Bear Lake. I talk about the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions rather than suppressing them, emphasizing that emotions serve as valuable information about our needs. I highlight the significance of communication and self-advocacy in relationships, particularly in navigating motherhood and family dynamics. Ultimately, I encourage you to embrace your emotions, allowing for a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Takeaways:

I had so much resistance to wanting to be here.

I didn't want to do all the hardships of motherhood.

I'd rather solve them, get to the root of it.

Emotions are just information about something important.

It usually only takes like 15 minutes to process.

Communication is so key in our relationships.

Emotions are not bad. They're just information.

Start looking inward, give yourself some time.

Have your pity party and then lean into gratitude.

You're awesome. Cheering you on.
