Most of us struggle to admit we have limitations, let alone actually rejoicing in them; however, my guest today, author, Sara Hagerty has learned how to better recognize (and accept) her boundaries and limitations. In today's conversation, we explore how idealism, while often celebrated, can impede personal growth, fostering dissatisfaction and burnout. We also discuss how grieving the loss of certain expectations and embracing our limits can ultimately lead to greater contentment and peace.------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + PostpartumSubstack: Minimalist Moms PodcastConnect with Sara:Book: The Gift of Limitations by Sara HagertyWebsiteInstagramEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
