#41: Why the "do it all" yourself approach will always backfire (in parenting and life)


Listen Later

Life as an adolescent parent requires you to have a new set of tools to take care of yourself, because you will be triggered, you will get frustrated, and you will feel uncomfortable when so many things are out of your control. 

And, if you're like me, you may still believe you can "do it all". (It's laughable and deeply uncomfortable for me to admit I ever thought this was possible.)

Listen in as I share why this approach to parenting and life will always: 

> leave you feeling like you're on an island

> become a great source of frustration (without you maybe realizing it's happening)

> lead to a breakdown from all sides

The new toolkit I refer to includes resourcing yourself with support and help in many forms. Listen in as I share a personal story around this realization, and get the kick-start you need to make it happen. Trust me when I say it's the #1 thing a parent can do for themselves during this stage.
