Summary

My kids are headed back to school soon, and they will be doing all sorts of assessments to see how they're doing in math and reading and writing. And this got me thinking: I need to do a series of mini-podcast episodes during this back-to-school season for moms to assess how they are doing, not with balancing equations or diagramming sentences (because I have a feeling most of us would fail those assessments 🥴), but to assess something way more important: our own levels of emotional wellbeing. Just like last week, this week, Monday-Friday, I will be publishing a mini-episode to introduce you to each of the principles I teach in my Self-Assured Motherhood course, a framework I created for overwhelmed moms. Each principle is an important part of emotional well-being and can help you in your personal assessment of how you're doing. Today's principle is Communicate for Connection. As you go along with this mini-series, you can use this self-assessment I've created to visually assess how you're doing in each of the principles we discuss. I hope you find this mini-series helpful as you take time to consider your own emotional well-being. I'm rooting for you! *** Announcements: Self-Assessment for Moms: Click here to download my FREE self-assessment to go along with each of the 9 principles we'll be discussing through the mini-series. **Everyone who downloads this assessment will receive a special discount for SAM!

0:10.0	special series of podcast episodes in honor of this time of year. Our kids will be
0:15.2	taking all sorts of assessments in the coming weeks to find out how they're doing
0:19.2	with their academic skills and while no one can force us anymore now that we're moms to brush up on our
0:24.8	math and our reading we definitely need to brush up on our emotional well-being and

0:35.0	That's why I'm doing this podcast series and each weekday, last week and this week,

1:17.0	I feel like it has become one of my superpowers that really blesses my children, particularly my firstborn, my spirited and strong-willed Noah.
1:27.0	I knew from the time that Noah was a toddler that I was going to need some
1:32.3	communication strategies with him.
1:34.0	He wasn't going to just be compliant and obedient and listen to me because I said so.
1:40.0	He is naturally incredibly smart, intuitive, emotional, he's a questioner.
1:47.2	He wants to be respected and his emotions are big. And I learned early on that the intensity that Noah has in a conflict
1:57.2	is the same intensity he has for loving the people who he can sense value him and delight in him.
