Ever Struggled with Mommy Tantrums? 

You know, those situations when you raise your voice at your kids and regret it afterward? 

I used to feel super guilty and ashamed about it, never wanted anyone else to know…

But then when I started working with moms, I realized most of us carry this same dark little secret inside. And we don’t want to talk about it to others, for the fear of being judged. 

I thought the only other way to get help was to read some parenting books. But that didn’t work for me either, so I thought there must be something wrong with me!

So, if you’re feeling stuck in a similar place, if you’re a loving, overwhelmed mom with a big heart who feels guilty for having these emotional outbursts at your kids, and you’re looking for help, …

Well, here it is.

This episode is for you.

I used to feel guilty for not loving my daughter unconditionally.

There… I just shared one of my most shameful secrets.

I was noticing what was wrong with her first – always looking for things to correct. Feeling overwhelming love usually came only after my daughter fell asleep and I could finally breathe out… 

But how to be a mom who loves unconditionally? Who looks at what’s right first? And who doesn’t lose her patience and cool over little accidents like a spilled cup of tea?

Listen in and let me know how it worked for you.

Babies don’t come with a manual.

Heck, our entire lives don’t come with any.

So how do you navigate the seasons when everything seems completely out of control and out of line?!

Well, if you’re anything like me, you’ll try to learn as much as possible. Parenting books, blogs, stress and self-care research, time management, and effective routine hacks, … Did you try to learn it all? To figure it out and get the control back over the unpredictable chaos that kids brought into your life?

And how did it work for you?
 
 Because it did NOT work for me.

Stuffing more information in my head did NOT make me more zen, less stressed, happier, or less impatient and resentful…

Why not?

And what did work in the end?

Tune into this episode where I unpack all of it. Including a mini-guided mental fitness practice session on top.

Let me know what you got out of it, subscribe, and share with your mom-friends!

May the force be with you! :)

If you don’t learn from your pain, you’re doomed to keep getting stuck in it over and over again. And it doesn’t matter if it’s physical or emotional, or if it’s about your relationships, parenting, or work.

THAT right there was one of the most powerful eye-openers I had in my trauma therapy training – even though I jumped into it thinking I had a happy childhood and no ‘big issues’ to work on…

The moment I stopped avoiding feeling the painful emotions, distracting myself from them, or keeping pushing through, and instead, I looked it in the face and got curious, my life shifted...

How?

And how could you even start deciphering any painful emotions safely, without being drowned and swallowed by them?

Tune in to this episode for the exact steps and guidance.

This endeavor is not an easy one. But your next level breakthrough is waiting for you on the other side.

Have you ever struggled with food cravings?

It got out of control for me when I had my daughter. And I just started eating anything I felt like. And when I tried to go back and stop eating so much sugar, my willpower and discipline only got me that far…

So after I was done beating myself up over how weak and pathetic I was, I took another look. And I started playing with Mental Fitness principles that worked so well for me in lowering my stress and anger levels, and I applied them to my food cravings.

And guess what, it worked!

So in this episode, I’m going to share exactly what I’m doing and why I think this works better in long term than any other “diet” that’s based on your discipline and willpower.

So listen in and see for yourself.

And that’s what this episode is about. It’s 3 steps to getting your sparkle back, distilled from my own experience and from coaching hundreds of women going through the same.

So let’s dive in!
