031: Relinquishing Expectations & Accepting What Is

Stressed. Tensed. Frustrated. I couldn't understand why my days as a stay at home mom were often overflowing with emotions. In this solo show episode, I explore how, as a child, I learned to use perfectionism as a guise for control. Throughout my adolescence, the attachment to my expectations was largely unconscious, but motherhood has an incredible way of shining a light onto the growing pains that we'd rather keep hidden.  Inspired by Dr. Shefali Tsabary's enlightening book, The Conscious Parent, I've been reflecting on the parenting expectations I've been carrying with me since pregnancy. Press play via the link in my bio to hear how relinquishing these expectations and accepting what is has transformed how I respond to my day-to-day life.   YOUNG HONEST MOTHERHOOD FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/younghonestmotherhood/ YOUNG HONEST MOTHER INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/younghonestmother/   YOUNG HONEST MOTHER SHOW NOTES: https://younghonestmother.com/ep-031-relinquishing-expectations-accepting-what-is/
