Summary
Becoming a mother is a transformative and in some ways challenging journey. Everyone focuses on the actions of being a parent and not enough on the identity shifts and emotional journey that it really is.
Today's guest expert, Dr Morgan Cutlip, wrote the book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself. In today's interview with her, you'll hear:
-
Why "balance" is bologna and what to seek instead
-
The core inner conflicts a mom faces, and likely doesn't expect
-
The impossible standards we set for ourselves and how that affects us
-
How to banish or tame the guilt we encounter with the decisions we make as a mother
