Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...

 

- It can be tricky to maintain relationships when you’re in different stages of life from your friends and it’s common for some to atrophy after you become a parent. 

 

- Unpacking all the feelings you may have about this: fear, guilt, grief, and more!

 

- Practical strategies for creating a simple routine that is easy for you to maintain, but will also allow you to keep these relationships from going too long without any checkins. 

 

- When you are changed by motherhood, you may slip into black-and-white thinking with regard to your friendships. We offer you a perspective shift you can use to challenge that.

 

- How to check in with yourself so you can understand the root of your desires for connection, which will help you create realistic anchors that will actually meet your needs.

 

- Time management and scheduling hacks that can help you be intentional about protecting the time you do have.

 

- How to repair bonds with friends who may feel hurt, slighted, or abandoned by you.
