Therapy. Therapy has been an invaluable way for me to process the difficulties I sometimes experience

as a mother and I recommend it to every mom I know who wants more emotional resilience

if you don't want to. It's much more affordable than in-person therapy and you can start

communicating with your therapist in under 48 hours. This podcast is sponsored by Better Help
