Back to EpisodesYou Don't Have to Do Any of It: Taking Your Power Back From Resentment in the Seasons That Drain You
Description
This week, I talk about something I've wrestled with a lot as a stay at home mom and naptime entrepreneur: resentment. When I give and give without honoring what I want, I fall into anger and frustration. But when I ALSO tend to my own needs, I actually want to show up for my people. The reframe that changed everything is reminding yourself you don't have to do any of it. You don't have to feed your family. They could figure it out. But you actually want to. That small shift gives your power back and moves you from resentment into problem solving mode. I share my three questions for any task I'm resistant to: how can I make this as easy, as fun, and as sustainable as possible? It's not about being a martyr. This life is about both giving and receiving, and you deserve to find your balance too.
