I've been a mother for less than 8 years, and sometimes it seems like I learn less about "mothering", and more about basic relationship management as my journey continues.
This video is about a critical point in my parenting journey. A point where I had the option to choose between Nurture and Necessity; ultimately to find out that they can be one in the same. I learned that I can choose to console myself in my long-term goal, rather than quell my stomach flip-flops with delusions of make-them-feel-good-at-all-times syndrome.
Got 7 minutes? Listen as I share my experience, then tell me what you would've done.
Have you ever felt torn between your roles as
life guide and feel-gooder?
When do you feel most vulnerable as a parent?
Thanks for listening (oh, and watching!) and sharing.
