When does admitting how much parenthood drives you crazy shift from hurtful to helpful?
Can you love your kids unconditionally but also say out loud that sometimes you think you have screwed up your life irrevocably by having them?
(Spoiler Alert, the answer is yes.)
Today I continue my story from Episode 49 of how I was able to stop crying, come out of the closet, and start enjoying my life again. (If you haven’t listened yet to Episode 49 I suggest you listen to it first, then listen to this one.)
Listen today to hear:
-
the shameful things I couldn’t even admit to my counselor
-
how I felt like I was failing as a mom and why I was sure CPS would come and take my kids away
-
what shifted my journey from tired, stressed, angry, resentful and sad to confident, joyful, self-assured, and calm (well, calm-er) and how you can do it too.
If this episode resonates with you and you are ready to start making a shift from bitter and overwhelmed to confident and calm check out Permission to Untangle. A guidebook that takes everything I have learned in months of counseling and delivers it to you in an actionable, encouraging, bite-sized journal.
Sidenote, I do say the word “suck” twice so if you don’t want your kids hearing that and repeating it you might want to put in some earbuds.
