What keeps you from acknowledging your greatest struggles and overcoming them? Have you hit some roadblocks that might prevent you from overcoming? In this episode host Sondra Doty talks about her personal struggles with being a high-functioning person amid obstacles that seemingly always get in the way.
Sondra found freedom when she finally acknowledged motherhood wasn't looking like what she hoped it to be. It helped her reframe her expectations around parenting and life; that there isn't perfection in parenting and that a parenting badge of honor doesn't require long-term suffering.
Sit down with "more than-enough" self and write your top three struggles. For each one, share what would it look like if you got help through any roadblocks. Then, write action steps for each to chart out getting the help you need.
After identifying struggles. Talk more freely about them to help people better understand you. When we show others our struggles we enrich one another. This is how to do life with a community. Life is not just in the happy times.
