No wonder you second guess yourself—you are doing the hardest job on the planet while being observed and judged by the people you thought would support you in this…and sometimes you even get undermined from within your home. You constantly feel the need to take the temperature of the home and then get accused of coddling your child when you are just protecting your child. You are courageously dealing with childhood trauma and breaking generational patterns. I am so freaking proud of you! I hope this podcast makes you feel heard, understood, and inspired to keep being an awesome Mom.
