"she's my hard one."
"she's my sweet one."
"she's my baby."
That is exactly how my client described her three daughters to me after speaking through a stream of tears that she "feels so disconnected with her oldest."
Guess which one is her oldest? "The hard one."
This episode is all about what you CAN do about that so you can start feeling more connected with all of your kids, without trying to control who they are, how they feel and what they do. 
This is practical work that CAN be done. So let's do it!

On a recent family trip I got to take the role of "that mom" on an airplane. The one that holds a screaming baby while battling the negative thoughts in her head, swimming in the victim mentality and even making a snarky comment to her husband. 
That was me AND I didn't let it end there. 
I'm sharing the mindset I used to practically realize where my thoughts were at and what I needed to do instead so I could be who I want to be no matter where I am or who I am with. 
This is completely possible for you, too! 
If you're noticing a lot of negative thoughts in your mind then you need to use Alignment Journaling to set them straight on a proactive and consistent basis! 

107. Mindset When Your Baby Screams On A Plane

Have you ever had a "I'm going to spray him with the hose! That'll teach him..." kind of moment where you feel so, so frustrated at the choice your child made and the reaction is to do something that could be pretty mean?!
I have, that's what I'm sharing here today. 
The mean and negative thoughts that swirled my mind. 
The complete urge to grab my son and spray him down. 
The clear display of anger on my face. 
All of that going on and what I chose to do instead that I hope plants a seed in your mind and more hope in your heart for what is possible for YOU and YOUR motherhood. 
This is good work we are doing. 
If you need MORE help getting your mindset into a place that can slow the moments down and see your actions aligned with the mother you want to be, then you need to journal. 
Use the Alignment Journaling Course to start a daily 5 minute practice that equips you to do better than before. 
All my best,

My youngest son recently burnt his hand to the point of second degree burns covering his palms and fingertips, and I immediately knew it was something I could have prevented. The mom guilt was intense and the night was long for us. 
I'm sharing the story here in the hopes of helping you navigate mom guilt that comes in recognizing our part and how to learn lessons that make you BETTER and allow the feeling of guilt to pass in it's good time.
