The ‘perfect mother myth’ permeates our culture; it implies ‘children before mother’ and asks you to pour copious amounts of energy, money and time into your child. But what happens when this ideology is so loud it undermines or overrides your boundaries?

In this episode we discuss:

• Key ways to check in with yourself
• Getting clear on whether your yes is authentic or a narrative
• Recognising when you’re saying yes but you really mean no
• The impact of resentment on your child or yourself, when you do something you really don’t want to do
• Challenging the narrative that disrupts your self-worth or identity as a mother
• Getting clear on your reflexive ‘no’
• Differentiating dysregulated and anxiety responses from solid, self-governed responses
• Providing opportunities to develop future relationship negotiation skills
• Caring, Careful and Careless relationships
• It’s not safer saying ‘yes’
• Your ‘no’ opens their creativity and problem solving
• Being willing to be with the other person not liking your boundary
