The PedsDocTalk Podcast: Child Health, Development & Parenting—From a Pediatrician Mom

Finding Joy: Letting Go Of Control

Listen Later

It’s 2024: And the goal of this year for my community and listeners is learning to “let it go” for the things that are not serving us or blocking our joy. 

I discuss: 

  • Why controlling tendencies can occur especially in motherhood
  • Why motherhood is the ultimate struggle for those of us who grew up loving control 
  • How control looks like in motherhood
  • Ten steps to learn to let go of control
