Have you ever caught yourself wondering why you do the things you do? Like, why do you get so angry

and yell at your kids when they're moving at a snail's pace in the morning? Or why is it so

hard to relax when the house is a mess? If so, you've got to take my personality patterns quiz.

Because here's what's going on. When you were a child, whenever an experience

overwhelmed your nervous system, you subconsciously built a defense against that overwhelm.

And over time, those defenses became a habit. And then they became a pattern. And now as an

adult, what we think of as our personality is really actually often this defense

pattern running the show. It's so interesting, right? There's five different personality patterns,

and they're not personality types like the Enneagram or the Myers-Briggs, but rather they

describe the safety strategy that you immediately go to when you start to feel

overwhelmed. They don't describe who you are, but rather what's actually blocking who you are.

And the good news is that once you take the quiz and you learn about your pattern, you can learn

skills to break out of that pattern and then live

and parent as your true and authentic self. So click on the quiz link in the show notes or go to

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.
