July 17, 20227: How Authenticity Ends Anxiety For Moms
If you're an anxious mom, this one's for you. Let's talk about how becoming more authentic ends anxiety for moms. We discuss:
When we don't have a healthy model, but the stakes are high (with our kids), we feel so much pressure to get it right that we rely on what we know, which is our intellect and gaining knowledge to know the way forward

But this creates a ton of anxiety, and our old way of just controlling everything to feel safe stops working because now we have humans in the mix, and we can't control other humans

So we're looking everywhere for the right way to do things, and realizing that this huge deficit that we feel is, in fact, our inability to feel our emotions and use their guidance

So to get out of this cycle of trying to control the crap out of everything and feeling endless anxiety, we have to learn how to DO less and BE more, how to mind our thoughts, how to live in the present moment, how to trust that the energy coursing through our body in the form of emotions is here to guide us

And we have to stop caging ourselves, our kids, or our husband with expectations from old belief systems… that model never worked anyway and wasn't healthy.

July 10, 2022 6: The Myth of The 5 Love Languages
Did you know that the 5 love languages model has been debunked? Studies show that it's ineffective at improving relationships. But do you know what works? Self-Regulation! AND the female in the relationship has the most impact on changing it.
In this show, I break down the differences between love and care, why self-regulation matters, and what to explore as inner work based on your own "love language."
