In today's episode, I brought Kiyana, owner of Candid Candles, on to talk about the importance of taking care of your kids. When I say "take care of your kids", I don't mean in just the way everyone thinks. Acknowledge that you need some help and if that means sacrificing primary presence of your child, then do so. Kiyana is a mother whose son lives with their dad primarily, so we discussed:
Coparenting
Operating from a place of "lack"
The intimate vs. coparenting relationship line
Sharing the spotlight with the other baby mama
A mother's ego
Judging yourself for not seeing your child everyday
The fear of being shaded by family and friends, as well as men you are dating
