Laura and I talk about so much in this episode, including the behavioral model of parenting that many of us grew up with vs. the compassion model that is becoming more popular. We chat about how our brain finds evidence for whatever we're already thinking, how to dig out negative thought patterns, and why we can't force our loved ones to change. We also dig into some of the fascinating new research that supports a parenting approach that makes our relationship with our child the most important part of our parenting.

Today I want to dive into self-love and talk about why it's so important. I'll tell you a bit more about how I learned this, how I make sure my own cup is filled up, and why we have to take care of ourselves if we want to serve at our highest level. So many women falsely believe that they have to sacrifice themselves for others - and I hope you learn today that you can love others more deeply when you love yourself first.  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.jenriday.com/204
