We get into the benefits of gratitude in this episode - specifically, benefits that will help moms like you address your self-doubt, loneliness, and worry.
I talk about cultural mindsets and how mine was shaped growing up in New England. We also get into caregiver burnout, red flags, and how to become more present - present enough to begin to notice thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the moments they happen and not after they are over.
P.S. Did you know that Mom-Guilt is actually shame and not guilt!?
Don’t forget our success equation:
Intention + Attention + Action + Repetition = Results

Here’s the quote from Brene Brown on Shame I reference on the pod:
“Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love, belonging, and connection.”
And the parenting book that is an excellent read once you’re ready to get back into parenting books is: The Power of Showing Up by Daniel Siegel M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson Ph.D.
I also mentioned Intensive Parenting, and this is a very in-depth and relatable article on that as well: The Relentlessness of Modern Parenting.
