And I think we sometimes worry that introducing our kids to, you know, just some of the harsh

realities of life that it's going to be too much for them. But friends, the opposite is actually

true. Like when we expose our kids to the suffering of others, it can really stir up so much

empathy and compassion within them. It's this understanding, right, that like not everyone has the

same experience that we have. There are people right now that are going through some stuff.

And we don't have to deny it. We don't have to avoid it. Even though it feels maybe really

uncomfortable, we can be with it. If we're not scared of being uncomfortable,

we don't have to back away. We don't have to shy away from the pain or the suffering of others.

We can join them in it from a place of compassion.

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

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.
