This episode revolves around that all-too-familiar phrase, “leave me alone.” We have all been there!. We need boundaries and some alone but we need to be careful in how we communicate this.

Three ways we see this phrase pop up:
1) Leave me alone, I’m trying to go to the bathroom:
We talk about how important it is to teach our kids common courtesy and respecting boundaries.

2) Leave me alone, I need a few minutes:
We dive into those moments when we’re completely overwhelmed and just need to step back. Self-awareness, delegating tasks, and planning for high-stress situations are key points here.

3) Leave me alone, I’m in a bad place:
We go deeper into issues like depression and severe exhaustion. It’s crucial to recognize these feelings and seek help, be it through prayer, talking to friends, or professional help.

Let’s communicate our needs and find strength through Jesus and our community. Keep your heads up, mamas! We’re all in this together.
