On today's episode of the podcast I talk about that day-to-day frustration that we all feel at times

when things just aren't going our way and I talk about the importance of not only having self-care practices and things that ground

us when we feel overwhelmed, but the importance of having a daily practice where we check in

with ourselves. How that actual moment of

dropping in and listening to what we need is actually more important than the

self-care practices themselves.

So it's an emotional share from the heart

and a little practice right there in the middle

where you get to check in with you.

Let's jump in. Okay, my darlings. Here we are. Welcome back to the show. Welcome back to From the Heart. How is everyone doing? I'm going to be honest right away. It's a huge curveball from all the non honesty we normally do on this show.

You know me I'm always I'm always honest but yeah I'm gonna just jump out and say I am having a rough day today. I'm sitting here. I kind of have

tears in the back of my throat. I know that sounds weird, but you know that feeling when you feel I guess that's the feeling of feeling like choked up when you you just need a good cry you need a release but you don't really have the space or the time or the just ability to give yourself that.

So I am on let's see today's Wednesday is it only day three.

It's only day three feels like it's day 33 it's day 33 it's day three of Bear having a fever it's not the end of the world it's not a bad it's not even bad he's just a little bit

under the weather but he's in this phase now where when things are not good all he

wants is mom. And since Monday, yeah, Monday he got a fever. He's had a really bad fever since. He literally won't let anyone hold him. He basically doesn't want anyone else to look at him. He basically doesn't want anyone else to look at him.

And I'm crying, like smiling, crying, laughing with this like desperation that I think only a mom can really know of yeah when you

love your little one so much but you are the only one they want and the overwhelm of that that is just major yeah there is an

overwhelm in that where yeah I I stink I really smell so bad because I haven't been able to take a shower

just because he just whales yeah he Yeah, he just wales.

And since Monday he only sleeps in my arms.

He doesn't want to sleep anywhere else.
