And the focus of the conversation needs to be the repair. So it's not rehashing what happened.

In the repair conversation, you're really going to want to make sure that you're not placing the focus

of that conversation on what your kids did. It's not about what they did to get you in that

triggered state. Right. So an effective repair, it isn't like, even though you did

X, Y, and Z to make me angry, I'm sorry and I'm going to do better next time. That's not how it works,

right? It's that reminder of who's the adult and who's the child in this scenario. And it's

also about taking ownership of our own emotions and our own

triggers and acknowledging to ourselves and our kids that, you know, regardless of how

they do things, regardless of what they decide to do, we still owe it to them to do better

than what we just did. Welcome back to the Motherhood podcast, a live workshop-style podcast that is helping thousands of

moms redefine their motherhood journey.

There was a point in my life when I was trying to do all the things, parent my kids,

pour into my marriage, run a busy law practice, keep up my home.

And what I found was that I was on the fast track to burnout until I discovered a better way.

Now I help women just like you to close the gap between their vision of motherhood

and what they're actually experiencing in their day-to-day lives.

Together, we'll explore when and where to simplify,

systemize, and surrender. I promise you, you're already doing so much better than you think.

I'm your coach, Michelle Grocer, and this is Motherhood.
