003: Crying, Shedding, and Renewal

If you've ever tried to help your kids by trying to make them feel better so they stop crying, you're not alone. But what if we really gave our children—and OURSELVES—massive permission to cry? Join me for this episode as I talk about crying and the power and beauty of emotional release, why it's so cathartic, and why we need to be held in the sanctity of crying.   I'm diving into: Sharing some stories from the lens of motherhood about my kids and crying that extend FAR beyond motherhood Why we need to express our tenderness and our tears The page from a children's book that broke my heart and the revision that brought tears to my eyes What's on the other side of release The key to our resilience and courage and joy A reflection on shedding The ritual I created to help me with disappointments that was the release I didn't know I needed   Connect with me:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dana_inouye/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danainouye  Website: https://danainouye.com/  Get my free 3 playlists to move your shiz and harness your inner wild: http://danainouye.com/releaseandrise/
